dc.description.abstract Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the feasibility and acceptability of teledentistry as a vehicle that provides enhanced delivery of oral care for the people who need special care (PNSC). Methods: Between January 2018 and September 2020, PNSC who were admitted in the study were either waiting for a follow-up (F) appointment or on a waiting list. An examination via video call was carried out for initial examination (IE) and F purposes. The virtual examination was scored by the clinician who performed the examinations. The experience of the participants was evaluated with a satisfaction questionnaire. Results: Forty PNSC (26 females, 14 males) between ages 7 and 48 years (21.17 +/- 10.62) participated in the study. According to the clinician ratings, the accuracy of the examination was rated as the lowest. The F group had higher scores when compared to the IE group regarding clinician rating. No significant differences were found in terms of the scoring of the clinician and patient/parent satisfaction regarding cooperation status and type of examination (P >= 0.05). Conclusions: Through adequate adaptation of the technology into clinical practice and overcoming the barriers for wider implementation, the teledentistry approach could be a reliable and feasible alternative in triaging, treatment planning, and F purposes for PNSC. en_US
