Real-Time Video Conferencing Consultations for Clinical Oral
Pathology in BC
Dr. Charles Shuler, Dr. Samson Ng
Oral hard and soft tissue lesions may be recognized during patient examinations.
The UBC Faculty of Dentistry is developing a real-time, video-conferencing
approach to permit consultations with an oral medicine/pathology specialist
directly from the private dental office. This presentation will provide examples
of the potential of tele-dentistry, and oral medicine/pathology on-line. The type
of hardware and software that can be employed will be discussed as well as
reviewing a set of materials that would allow this consultative approach to be
incorporated into a practice.
