Results: The electronic search gave a total of 413 articles, after applying selection criteria, title reading and elimination of duplicates, 53 articles were relevant, the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to them, giving a total of 16, to which were added 5 articles by retrograde search and 8 by manual search, giving a result of 29 articles in this review.

Conclusion: There is a need to incorporate teleodontology as a fundamental part of comprehensive care in pediatric dentistry, due to its multiple uses, applications and benefits for children with and without disabilities, being a contribution to dentistry thanks to the reception of information under a familiar, comfortable and related method.
