Percepción de los odontólogos sobre la viabilidad de la aplicación de teleodontología en Mérida, Venezuela, en el 2021
Resumen
La teleodontología consiste en la atención odontológica a distancia mediante el uso de las TIC para el registro, el almacenamiento y la transmisión de información para mejorar el acceso a la salud de poblaciones aisladas, desatendidas, de escasos recursos económicos o en cautiverio. Investigaciones previas han encontrado que la teleodontología ha sido utilizada para diagnosticar, dar consulta y atención de emergencia, referir pacientes, realizar prevención de enfermedades y promoción de la salud y desarrollar programas de formación inicial y educación continua en diferentes especialidades odontológicas. Pero, hasta la fecha no ha sido estudiada desde la perspectiva de los odontólogos en Venezuela. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este artículo es describir la percepción de los odontólogos sobre la viabilidad de la aplicación de teleodontología en Mérida, Venezuela, en el año 2021. Los odontólogos consideran que se puede aplicar en odontología general y en la mayoría de las especialidades odontológicas: rehabilitación bucal, periodoncia, patología bucal, odontología restauradora y estética, ortodoncia, cirugía bucal, endodoncia, odontopediatría. Sin embargo, admiten que desconocen el protocolo de aplicación de la teleodontología y la Ley que regula su uso en Venezuela. En conclusión, la teleodontología es viable en Mérida, Venezuela, pero los odontólogos requieren formación; por lo tanto, se recomienda su aplicación por parte de profesionales formados y certificados, considerando la normativa vigente y desarrollar programas educativos para formar a odontólogos y estudiantes de odontología.
