# Teledentistry Platform with Intraoral Camera | MedConnect > A teledentistry platform for live and store-and-forward oral-health workflows, with an FHD intraoral camera, secure records and remote dentist review. [Home](/en) / [Solutions](/en/solutions) / Teledentistry platform Oral health at a distance # Teledentistry Platform with Intraoral Camera A **teledentistry platform** connects dental images, patient history and a remote dentist in one accountable workflow. MedConnect supports live video and asynchronous review with an FHD dental camera, secure patient records and documented follow-up—so an oral-health program can screen, triage and coordinate care beyond the dental office.

The American Dental Association distinguishes synchronous care—live, two-way interaction—from asynchronous or “store-and-forward” care, where recorded information such as photographs and video is securely transmitted for later evaluation. The reviewing dentist remains responsible for deciding whether the collected information supports an assessment and treatment plan. MedConnect can be configured around either operating model. A live session lets the remote dentist guide the on-site operator while viewing the patient and captured oral images. An asynchronous session lets an authorized team collect a structured case for a dentist to review later—useful where dentist time, connectivity or time zones make live appointments difficult. ### Synchronous teledentistry - **1.** Confirm identity, consent and relevant history. - **2.** Connect the patient, on-site operator and remote dentist. - **3.** Capture oral views while the dentist directs the examination. - **4.** Document findings and coordinate the next appropriate step. ### Asynchronous teledentistry - **1.** Collect the structured history and permitted dental images. - **2.** Attach the material to the correct patient record. - **3.** Route the case securely to the reviewing dentist. - **4.** Return the documented assessment and follow-up instructions. ## What a complete teledentistry setup needs The US Department of Health and Human Services identifies secure video software, suitable computer hardware, handheld intraoral cameras and reliable connectivity as core technical requirements for teledentistry. The clinical workflow also needs identity, consent, documentation, access control and a clear escalation path—not just image capture.

It cannot perform a hands-on procedure, and an image alone may not provide enough information for diagnosis. The dentist must decide when an in-person examination, radiograph, emergency referral or treatment visit is necessary. Licensure, informed consent, supervision of allied personnel, permitted duties, record retention and reimbursement vary by jurisdiction. The organization deploying the service is responsible for validating those requirements wherever the patient receives care. ## Pricing: configure the workflow, not just the camera Teledentistry pricing depends on the number of sites and users, live versus asynchronous operation, dental-camera quantity, hosting, patient-record and integration requirements, training and deployment support. We quote the complete workflow because a camera without secure review and follow-up is not a teledentistry service, while software without suitable clinical images limits what the remote dentist can assess. ## Primary clinical and implementation references - [US HHS: Getting started with telehealth for oral health](https://telehealth.hhs.gov/providers/best-practice-guides/telehealth-oral-health/getting-started) - [American Dental Association policy on teledentistry](https://www.ada.org/about/governance/current-policies/ada-policy-on-teledentistry) - [American Dental Association guidance on documentation and patient records](https://www.ada.org/resources/practice/practice-management/documentation-patient-records) Solution design ## Request teledentistry pricing Tell us who captures the images, who reviews them, whether sessions are live or asynchronous, and how many sites you plan to equip.

A teledentistry platform lets an oral-health team collect patient history and dental images, hold a secure live consultation or send the case for later review, document the dentist’s assessment, and coordinate appropriate in-person follow-up. What equipment is needed for teledentistry? A professional workflow typically needs secure telehealth software, a computer or tablet, reliable audio and video, and a handheld intraoral camera. Some programs also use radiographs or digital scanners when clinically required and legally permitted. Can teledentistry work asynchronously? Yes. In a store-and-forward workflow, authorized on-site staff collect the history, photographs, video or other permitted records and send them securely to a dentist for later review. Local licensure, consent, scope-of-practice and documentation rules still apply. Does teledentistry replace an in-person dental examination? No. It can support screening, triage, consultation, follow-up and care coordination, but the reviewing dentist determines whether the available information is sufficient and when an in-person examination, radiograph, procedure or emergency referral is required. How much does a teledentistry platform cost? Pricing depends on the number of sites and users, the live or asynchronous workflow, the dental-camera configuration, hosting and integration requirements, and implementation support.
