We chose 1000 facilities using a stratified random sampling method. The questionnaires were sent to the facilities in August 2021 and collected in December of the same year. Responses to the questionnaire items regarding the usefulness of teledentistry for oral management were divided into three groups according to the answer: perceiving teledentistry as \u201cuseful,\u201d \u201cnot useful,\u201d or \u201cneither,\u201d including facilities that do not currently use teledentistry.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In total, 26.1% (261) responded to the questionnaire, and among these, 184 facilities answered the question regarding the usefulness of teledentistry. Only two of these facilities implemented teledentistry. Facilities with dental hygienists ( p\u2009=\u20090.040) and those that receive insured medical treatment: reimbursement for oral feeding maintenance II ( p\u2009=\u20090.040) tended to perceive teledentistry as useful in the management of patients with coronavirus disease. The higher the number of services that responded to the question \u201cwhat kind of services do you think can be provided via teledentistry?\u201d the higher the percentage of \u201cuseful\u201d responses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although only a few facilities use teledentistry, many long-term care facilities perceive it as useful even without using it.
