Standardized intraoral photographs and brief case histories from pediatric patients were compiled into clinical case scenarios. Eight representative cases were selected and presented in a Google Forms survey to licensed dentists in Jordan. Participants reviewed the cases, providing clinical diagnoses and proposing treatment plans. Responses were analyzed to determine diagnostic accuracy and agreement on treatment planning.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Diagnostic agreement was highest for cases with distinct clinical presentations. Case #5 (early childhood caries) showed the highest agreement at 92.1%, followed by Case #3 (avulsion; 91.1%) and Case #6 (ectopic eruption; 85.1%). Treatment planning agreement followed a similar pattern. The highest concordance was reported for Case #4 (molar-incisor hypomineralization; 64.4%) and Case #7(Functional class III\/anterior crossbite 59.4%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Teledentistry enables high diagnostic accuracy among Jordanian dentists, especially in pediatric cases with well-defined presentations.
