Abstract

The primary issue explored in this study is the lack of comprehensive understanding of dental students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning teledentistry. This study contributes to the understanding of dental students' readiness to adopt teledentistry, highlighting the variability in attitudes and practices across different educational levels and the need for curriculum integration to enhance practical application. Students in the earlier years of study tend to be more open to adopting teledentistry, while those in advanced years exhibit greater caution. Thus, we show the gap in understanding dental students' knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding teledentistry, which is crucial for its effective integration into clinical practice.
