N2  - The ongoing COVID-19 epidemic is a major worldwide issue. This epidemic brings to mind the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which spread quickly throughout the Middle East in 2012 and killed 871 people, or 39% of the total. The 2019 coronavirus illness is also known as SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) or COVID-19. The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the current COVID-19 as a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) on January 30, 2020. The dental community and all patients in need of dental care in the modern day benefit greatly from teledentistry. Emergency dental treatment and patient triage may be accomplished efficiently through teledentistry. As a result, it lowers the possibility of the virus spreading nosocomially and communicatively through interpersonal contact in dental clinics. A summary of teledentistry's applications, scope, and significance in the present COVID-19 crisis is provided in this article.
