Overview
The aim of this study is to assess the accuracy of teledentistry for diagnosis and treatment need in dental caries detection versus clinical examination on a group of Egyptian children.
Detailed description
The objective of this study is to assess the precision of using the mobile photographic method of teledentistry for dental caries diagnosis and treatment need of pediatric Egyptian children. This will be assessed by measuring the diagnostic accuracy of the mobile photographic method versus direct clinical oral examination for the same group of participants.
