Responsible Innovation in AI-Driven Teledentistry: Ethical, Legal, and Economic Considerations for the Globalization Era.
Review in Discoveries (Craiova, Romania). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Teledentistry has evolved from asynchronous communication to real-time consultations, with adoption accelerating during and post-COVID. Concurrently, AI has been leveraged to enhance diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility using machine learning, GANs, and connected devices. This scoping review, conducted using Arksey and O'Malley framework and Joanna Briggs Institute guidance, explores the ethical, legal, and economic considerations of AI-driven teledentistry. Following a PRISMA-ScR compliant screening process by two independent reviewers, 137 studies published between 2018 and 2025 were included. Unlike previous reviews that have primarily focused on clinical applications or the general use of AI in healthcare, this review addresses the ethical, legal, and economic considerations of AI in teledentistry in a single paper. It underscores the importance of explainable AI, explores cross-border regulatory challenges, and discusses possible cost models for adoption in smaller practices. This review indicates that AI-powered teledentistry could enhance diagnostic accuracy, facilitate early detection, improve monitoring, and increase accessibility. Nonetheless, these advantages come with critical concerns including data privacy, potential biases, patient autonomy, accountability, and cost. Addressing these issues through governance, oversight, transparency, and economic viability is essential. AI-enabled teledentistry has the potential to transform dental care delivery, but its integration must be approached with careful consideration of its associated challenges.
