This approach enhances access to care, mitigates geographical barriers, and optimizes costs, proving particularly beneficial for institutionalized older adults. Studies assessing the accuracy of virtual versus in\u2010person examinations in this population have reported positive outcomes, reinforcing the feasibility of remote consultations, diagnoses, and treatment planning. However, studies specifically focusing on community\u2010dwelling older adults remains absent from the literature. This study aims to examine the dental literature regarding the accuracy, concordance, and effectiveness of virtual examinations in comparison to in\u2010person assessments for screening and diagnosing of oral diseases in community\u2010dwelling older adults. A scoping review was conducted using the PICo strategy. A health sciences librarian performed a comprehensive search across six databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science) using Mesh keywords. Article selection involved a three\u2010stage process: screening titles\/abstracts, reading full texts, and final selection based on pre\u2010defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two researchers independently selected articles using Rayyan for blind review, and their disagreements was solved by a third\u2010reviewer researcher, with more experience. A total of 11\u00a0187 articles were initially identified across all included databases. Of these, 3719 duplicates were detected and removed. The remaining 7468 articles were imported into the Rayyan platform, where an additional 311 duplicate records were identified and manually excluded by the reviewers. After this step, 7154 articles were excluded for not meeting the predefined inclusion criteria. As a result of the screening and eligibility process, three articles remained, of which only one was ultimately included in the final analysis. This single study evaluated the accuracy of diagnosing dental caries in geriatric patients attending an outpatient clinic using smartphone intraoral photographs compared to a standard clinical examination. The study identified a strong concordance between virtual and in\u2010person examinations, demonstrating an acceptable level of diagnostic accuracy for caries detection in older adults using smartphone\u2010based assessments. Despite a comprehensive search, the identification of only a single article on concordance among community\u2010dwelling older adults highlights the scarcity of literature on this topic. There is a significant research gap in the integration of teledentistry and radiographic examinations for this population. Community\u2010dwelling older adults possess distinct characteristics that necessitate focused attention. Subgingival proximal root caries, a prevalent dental condition in this group, relies heavily on radiographic assessment for accurate diagnosis. This review identified a notable scarcity of literature regarding the accuracy of virtual versus in\u2010person clinical assessments for older adults living in the community, with only a single study available. Further research is imperative to develop and refine appropriate digital assessment protocols tailored to the needs of this specific population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/scd.70101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,22]],"date-time":"2025-10-22T05:30:58Z","timestamp":1761111058000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Teledentistry for Older Community\u2010Dwelling Patients: A Scope Review of Concordance Between Virtual and Clinical Examination"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Monira Samaan","family":"Kall\u00e1s","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Syrian Lebanese Hospital Advanced Geriatrics Center  Sao Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniela Torres Wardil","family":"Krause","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gerontology University of Sao Paulo (USP Leste)  S\u00e3o Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher A.","family":"Childs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hardin Library for the Health Sciences University of Iowa  Iowa City Iowa USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leonardo","family":"Marchini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive and Community Dentistry The University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics  Iowa City Iowa USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandre Leopold","family":"Busse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Geriatrics University of\u00a0S\u00e3o\u00a0Paulo Medical School  Sao Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.Ageing and Health.
