Description
Sungkrit Pojmonpiti, Wisunee Witthayawarakul, Todsaporn Fuangrod, and Supakorn Suntornchatchaweach run a noninferiority trial in 2026 on teledentistry follow-up for head and neck cancer patients after radiotherapy. Radiation wrecks oral health, and survivors need close dental monitoring. Remote visits using live video plus patient self-photographs were compared with standard in-person care over six months.
Twenty-seven patients completed the study. Remote follow-up proved noninferior for plaque levels and gum bleeding on probing, the two main outcomes, and also for bone death incidence. Satisfaction ran high in both groups. Results for other complications and quality of life stayed inconclusive. The authors call teledentistry feasible for the first six months after treatment.
