AB  - Teledentistry has emerged as a promising tool in bridging the gap in healthcare accessibility, particularly in regions like Latin America region, where resources for oral healthcare are often limited. Drawing upon a comprehensive review of literature, this overview assessed the applications and clinical outcomes of teledentistry in diagnosing oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) and oral cancer, highlighting the challenges and opportunities specific to the Latin American context. Moreover, it examined the integration of artificial intelligence algorithms and teledentistry for enhancing diagnostic accuracy, thereby optimizing resource allocation and improving patient outcomes. By elucidating the current landscape and future prospects, this overview provided insights for policymakers, healthcare providers, and researchers, fostering advancements in oral healthcare delivery with the aim of reducing the burden of OPMDs and oral cancer in the Latin American region.
