Cover Story: Telehealth in oral and maxillofacial (OM) surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic was an effective alternative to in-person consultations. Though telehealth is unlikely to replace traditional consultations, substantial demand exists for the increased availability of telehealth services across specialist fields. This study addressed perceived barriers, benefits, and limitations of telehealth by Australian OM consultants, including their willingness to utilise telehealth in the future. While telehealth was useful in enhancing healthcare access to remote patients and facilitating post-operative follow-ups, consultants expressed concerns about its usability for establishing accurate diagnostics and doctor–patient relationships. Successful integration of telehealth into oral and maxillofacial surgery requires improved telehealth infrastructure and addressing diagnostic and relational challenges. View this paper
