Abstract ABSTRACT

Background: Teledentistry and digital oral-hygiene technologies are increasingly used to enhance remote care, patient engagement, and preventive oral health. Understanding user awareness and attitudes is essential for effective implementation.

Aim: To assess awareness of teledentistry and oral-hygiene mobile apps, attitudes toward remote consultations, and willingness to use smart oral-hygiene devices.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 101 participants from dental institutions between July and September 2025. Data were collected using a validated digital questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS. Descriptive statistics summarized awareness and perceptions, while chi-square tests assessed associations (p < 0.05).

Results: Awareness of teledentistry was moderate, with 49.5% familiar but uncertain of its meaning. Attitudes toward remote consultations were largely positive. Awareness of smart devices significantly varied by education (p = 0.0322), and gender influenced privacy and device-related concerns. Willingness to adopt smart devices was moderate but influenced by cost and usability.

Conclusion: Participants demonstrated favorable attitudes toward digital dentistry, though awareness remains developing, highlighting the need for improved education and accessibility.
Keywords Keywords: Teledentistry, Digital Dentistry, Oral-Hygiene Apps, Smart Toothbrush, Remote Consultations.
