We have built a remote consultation system for patients with oral mucosal disease via e-mail between the Nagasaki Dental Association and the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Nagasaki University Hospital. The system was initially constructed for providing consultation on whether to refer a patient to the University Hospital, but in many cases it was possible to make a clinical diagnosis by photographs sent via e-mail. Although there some problems remain, such as management of personal information, this system is useful for early diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases.
