At the beginning of 2020, the virus that initiates COVID-19 emerges. Therefore, limitations were imposed on the interactions in the pediatric dental office. Teledentistry became an option to provide dental services to pediatric patients. The purpose of this literature review was to determine the use of teledentistry in pediatric dentistry during COVID-19 pandemic. A search was conducted on platforms such as: Ebsco, Scielo, Lilacs, Pubmed and Google Scholar regarding it. It was found that teledentistry was used for the purposes like as the diagnosis and promotion of oral health, measurement of knowledge of parents about children’s oral health, to perform dental appliance checks, to measure the attitude and knowledge of teledentistry by the pediatric dentist and to carry out disease prevention and control in special patients. Objective: The purpose of this literature review was to determine the use of teledentistry in pediatric dentistry in times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: The selection criteria included case reports, original articles and randomized clinical trials in Spanish or English published from 2020 to 2022. Articles other than Spanish or English were excluded. The research question is: What is the use of teledentistry in Pediatric Dentistry in times of the Covid-19 pandemic? P= pediatric patients in need of dental care in times of the Covid-19 pandemic. I= teledentistry C= not receiving dental care O= reduction in viral exposure of the pediatric patient during dental consultation, guidelines for dental care in times of pandemic, appropriate use of teledentistry in pandemic. The article search strategy was conducted on platforms such as: EBSCO, Scielo, LILACS, Pubmed and Google Scholar. Results: It was found that teledentistry was used for diagnosis and promotion of oral health, to measure parents’ knowledge of children’s oral health, perform dental appliance checks, measure the attitude and knowledge of teledentistry by the pediatric dentist and to conduct prevention and control of diseases in special patients.
