Online published on 9 April, 2021. Abstract The incorporation of lightning quick processors along with high resolution digital cameras within the smartphones have led to their significant growth even in the healthcare sector. Their excellent imaging capabilities have had tremendous applications in specialities that primarily depend on visual interpretation like pathology, radiology and dermatology. As a result, smartphone applications (apps) have become increasingly prevalent in medicine and dentistry. The purpose of this review is to illustrate how smartphones and tablets can be used by dental faculty including trainee students in academics or research and to introduce most relevant applications that are currently available.
