Resumen
Los avances tecnológicos han influenciado la práctica sanitaria de forma radical, teniendo en las últimas décadas especial importancia las “Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación”, que facilitaron el surgimiento de una nueva modalidad: “la atención a distancia”, generalmente llamada telemedicina y que en nuestro caso ha tenido un desarrollo más reciente en la teleodontología. Nuestro objetivo es hacer una revisión de los conceptos, historia, campos de aplicación y experiencias documentadas alrededor del mundo, consideraciones legales, así como plantear algunas aplicaciones y proyecciones futuras de la teleodontología. En general encontramos un positivo, aunque escaso, desarrollo de la teleodontología bajo sus diversas modalidades, que ha aumentado en los últimos años, superando cuestionamientos clínicos y legales iniciales. El mejoramiento y aparición de nuevas tecnologías, y una actitud creativa por parte de los dentistas se perfilan como los principales sustratos para la expansión de esta práctica.
