Blockchain technology is being implemented in dental care systems to store and share medical information, improve insurance claims, and provide innovative dental data ledgers. Because the healthcare sector is a large and ever-growing industry, the use of blockchain technology would have many benefits. To improve dental care delivery, researchers advocate using blockchain technology and smart contracts due to their numerous advantages. In this research, we concentrate on blockchain-based dental care systems. In particular, we examine the current research literature, pinpoint issues with existing dental care systems, and consider how blockchain technology may be used to address these issues. Finally, the limitations of the proposed blockchain-based dental care systems are discussed which may be regarded as open issues.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23063277","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]],"date-time":"2023-03-20T07:06:37Z","timestamp":1679295997000},"page":"3277","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["The Potential of Blockchain Technology in Dental Healthcare: A Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Takua","family":"Mokhamed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, College of Computing and Informatics, University of Sharjah, Sharjah 27272, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manar Abu","family":"Talib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, College of Computing and Informatics, University of Sharjah, Sharjah 27272, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Adel","family":"Moufti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive and Restorative Dentistry, College of Dental Medicine, University of Sharjah, Sharjah 27272, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2287-3801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sohail","family":"Abbas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, College of Computing and Informatics, University of Sharjah, Sharjah 27272, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6220-0225","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Faheem","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of Computer Engineering, Gachon University, Seongnam 13557, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"179","DOI":"10.1016\/j.comcom.2020.12.028","article-title":"A survey of breakthrough in blockchain technology: Adoptions, applications, challenges and future research","volume":"169","author":"Sanka","year":"2021","journal-title":"Comput.
