Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
The discovery of smart phones and instant messaging apps has been a milestone in the field of technology. However, it is up to us how wisely we can use these technologies in healthcare sector, by bridging the gap between them. The studies in the literature have proved that the field of dentistry is not an exception this. They have highlighted the importance of instant messaging Apps like WhatsApp in diagnosis of oral diseases. A second opinion about the diagnosis of the oral diseases can be drawn with the help of WhatsApp. It can be used as a tool in the detection and evaluation of potentially malignant disease before the lesion becomes more dreadful oral cancer.
