Article Synopsis
- mHealth is showing promise for assessing traumatic dental injuries (TDI) remotely, with this study focusing on the diagnostic accuracy of TDI detection through smartphone photos.
- The study involved photographing the upper and lower anterior teeth of 153 participants, and the images were evaluated independently by dental professionals to determine how accurately they could identify TDIs.
- Results indicated that diagnostic sensitivity ranged from 59-95% for TDIs, with better accuracy for urgent cases and primary/mixed dentition, suggesting mHealth could be a valuable tool in emergency dental care and future research may involve enhancing photographic assessment techniques and integrating machine learning.
