Resumo: Objective: This article shows Brazilian Teleconsultation Program in Oral Medicine to counseling dentistry professionals on the diagnosis of oral lesions and guidance on the clinical treatment of patients, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Study Design: The professional sends remotely by smartphone, via Whatsapp® (https://www.whatsapp.com/?lang=pt_br), the case report, clinical images, and complementary exams of patients, if appropriate.
Results: Since the beginning of the program, in 14 months, we counseled dentistry professionals from 40 municipalities and were carried out 207 teleconsultations and 76 face-to-face consultations; 24 cases were hypothesized as malignant lesions and had their medical treatment conducted and followed by a multidisciplinary team, when appropriate. Other 52 cases were consulted in our Oral Diagnosis Service.
Conclusion: Our Teleconsultation program in Oral Medicine, which began as an experience in the COVID-19 pandemic, represents an important tool to streamline the flow of diagnosis of new suspected cases of oral cancer for the Oncology services in the North Macro-region of Minas Gerais State, Brazil.
