A high level of unmet oral health needs is very common among elderly people. In a society that is getting older and that has been hit so hard by the coronavirus pandemic, the development of new strategies aimed at enhancing general and oral health status should be crucial in order to promote healthy aging. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the feasibility of Teledentistry in communities or in a domiciliary setting where elderly people live. A structured and systematic research was performed on the major electronic databases for studies published in English until 30 June 2020: the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, and CINAHL databases. A total of 13 articles were identified through database searching using combinations of keywords. Out of 13 papers, eight abstracts were reviewed to assess if they were coherent with the aim of the study, and full texts were retrieved. After abstract reviews, seven articles were selected for closer inspection. Of these, six were assessed for eligibility. Four papers were aimed at assessing patients and health practitioners experiences about Teledentistry, three studies reported a cost analysis and cost description of Teledentistry in residential aged care facilities, and two studies investigated the feasibility and accuracy of Teledentistry for diagnosis dental pathology. The implementation of Teledentistry in residential aged care facilities and in home-assistance programs could be a viable tool for the management of oral care in people who cannot access dental care.

牙科保健服务和老年人:远程牙科的作用是什么?系统评价

在老年人中,未满足的口腔卫生需求水平很高。在一个日趋老龄化且受到冠状病毒大流行严重打击的社会中,旨在促进总体和口腔健康状况的新策略的开发对于促进健康老龄化至关重要。这项系统审查的目的是评估远程医疗在老年人居住的社区或住所环境中的可行性。在2020年6月30日之前,对以英语发表的主要研究电子数据库进行了结构化和系统化的研究:PubMed,Cochrane图书馆,Web of Science,Scopus和CINAHL数据库。通过使用关键词组合的数据库搜索,总共确定了13篇文章。在13篇论文中,审查了八个摘要以评估它们是否与研究目的相一致,并检索了全文。经过抽象审查,选择了七篇文章进行仔细检查。其中,有六个被评估为合格。四篇论文旨在评估患者和卫生从业者关于远程牙科的经验,三项研究报告了住宅养老机构中远程牙科的成本分析和成本描述,两项研究调查了远程牙科在诊断牙齿病理学方面的可行性和准确性。在居民老年护理设施和家庭援助计划中实施远程医疗可能是管理无法获得牙科护理的人的口腔护理的可行工具。选择了七篇文章进行仔细检查。其中,有六个被评估为合格。四篇论文旨在评估患者和卫生从业者关于远程牙科的经验,三项研究报告了住宅养老机构中远程牙科的成本分析和成本描述,两项研究调查了远程牙科诊断牙齿病理的可行性和准确性。在居民老年护理设施和家庭援助计划中实施远程医疗可能是管理无法获得牙科护理的人的口腔护理的可行工具。选择了七篇文章进行仔细检查。其中,有六个被评估为合格。四篇论文旨在评估患者和卫生从业者关于远程牙科的经验,三项研究报告了住宅养老机构中远程牙科的成本分析和成本描述,两项研究调查了远程牙科在诊断牙齿病理学方面的可行性和准确性。在居民老年护理设施和家庭援助计划中实施远程牙科可能是管理无法获得牙科护理的人的口腔护理的可行工具。三项研究报告了住宅老年护理设施中远程医疗的成本分析和成本描述,两项研究调查了远程医疗诊断牙齿病理的可行性和准确性。在居民老年护理设施和家庭援助计划中实施远程医疗可能是管理无法获得牙科护理的人的口腔护理的可行工具。三项研究报告了住宅老年护理设施中远程医疗的成本分析和成本描述,两项研究调查了远程医疗用于诊断牙齿病理的可行性和准确性。在居民老年护理机构和家庭协助计划中实施远程医疗可能是管理无法获得牙科护理的人的口腔护理的可行工具。
