Introduction: This study aimed to compare the accuracy of non-clinical dental examination using mobile phone photography and in-person clinical examination in determining the DMFT index and assessing occlusion.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental in vitro study, 39 individuals with dental caries or restorations, as determined by the DMFT index, were selected. Intraoral photographs of each participant were first taken using a smartphone and evaluated by a dentist. Subsequently, the same individuals underwent direct clinical examination. In both methods, the DMFT index and occlusion status—including dental class, crowding, bite type, and crossbite—were assessed. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test and Bowker's McNemar test.
Results: The mean DMFT index was significantly higher in the clinical examination compared to the non-clinical evaluation (P = 0.003). The greatest differences were related to decayed teeth, followed by filled teeth, while missing teeth showed minimal differences. In the assessment of occlusion status, no significant difference was observed between the two methods (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Non-clinical examination using smartphone photography appears to be a reliable method for evaluating certain oral health parameters, such as occlusal status and missing teeth. However, it has lower accuracy in detecting caries and restorations, particularly in early or secondary cases. Therefore, teledentistry is recommended as a complementary tool for initial screening, while in-person clinical examination remains essential for definitive diagnoses.
