Abstract

Teledentistry has advanced in Brazil (Numbers of Brazil – Fig. 9.1) in recent years, particularly with an emphasis on interactive teleducation, and telecare/teleassistance in the production of multicentre studies.

It is worthy to note that Brazil has adopted eHealth as a national policy applied to healthcare and education since 2006. It started as part of Ministry of Health national policy for development and capacity building of human resources for health. Many strategies have been developed and adopted aiming to reorient health professionals competencies to the healthcare model established in its universal access health system, based on primary health care. The strategies deal with undergraduate students, technical level health workers, residency and postgraduate programs. The educational policy implemented is based on three main guidelines: integration between universities and health services, a wider concept of health-disease process, based on the social determinants of health and new pedagogical approach based on active methodologies, including the use of information and communication technologies (ICT).
