Abstract: In recent years, the state is working to improve the uneven distribution of medical resources and actively promote telemedicine. However, how to develop telemedicine in the field of stomatology has not been reported in China. Referring to the literature, the author finds that foreign countries have studied this field for many years, and formed the concept of teledentistry. This paper summarizes the literature of telemedicine and stomatology at home and abroad, and expounds the development of telemedicine and its application in stomatology. By introducing the experience of the development of teledentistry in foreign countries, the aim is to develop and perfect the new field of telestomatology in China. At the same time, this paper can help to strengthen the domestic stomatologist's awareness of telemedicine, and provide reference to carry out telemedicine.
