The need for subsequent video attendance by an approved dental practitioner in oral and maxillofacial surgery arises when a referred patient requires ongoing virtual follow-up—often post-surgery or during treatment—for conditions like fractures or pathology, necessitating continued assessment under a single course of care to monitor progress or adjust plans. This is indicated for follow-up care, critical where maxillofacial treatment needs oversight.
Reasons include:
For instance, a patient post-jaw surgery might need this to check healing, done virtually. In aged care, an elderly patient could benefit for convenience, given frailty. By providing follow-up via video, this service ensures continuity, monitors recovery, and enhances care, making it a practical maxillofacial solution.
Ensures treatment continuity, monitors recovery, and adjusts care remotely.
Recovery not applicable; virtual service with no physical downtime.
