Since the COVID-19 crisis, we have all had to apply telemedicine. As an example, we offered patients teleconsultations for titration of their mandibular advancement device for sleep apnea. The main objective of this study was to determine patient satisfaction with this new method of consultation.
A cross-sectional survey using a satisfaction questionnaire was carried out in patients having been given an appliance adjustment teleconsultation by our establishment between March 2020 and February 2021.
Adjustment of their orthosis by telemedicine was systematically proposed to seventy-five patients, of whom seventeen accepted (22.7%), with a mean age of 52.3 years. The consultations were short (mean duration: 5min), and more than a third were carried out at the patient's workplace; by and large, they were considered highly satisfactory (mean score 4.3/5).
Although appliance adjustment by teleconsultation was not overwhelmingly accepted when offered, it gave great satisfaction after performance. This type of consultation is both technologically and administratively easy to organize, and it can be proposed as a supplementary service, suitable for all ages.
自新冠疫情危机以来，我们都不得不应用远程医疗。例如，我们为患者提供了关于调整下颌前移装置治疗睡眠呼吸暂停的远程会诊。本研究的主要目的是确定患者对这种新的会诊方式的满意度。
对2020年3月至2021年2月间在我们机构接受过矫治器调整远程会诊的患者进行了一项使用满意度问卷的横断面调查。
我们系统地向75名患者提议通过远程医疗调整他们的矫正器，其中17名患者接受了（22.7%），平均年龄为52.3岁。会诊时间较短（平均时长：5分钟），超过三分之一的会诊是在患者工作场所进行的；总体而言，这些会诊被认为非常令人满意（平均得分4.3/5）。
尽管通过远程会诊进行矫治器调整在提供时并未被广泛接受，但在实施后却获得了很高的满意度。这种会诊方式在技术和管理上都易于组织，可以作为一项适合所有年龄段的补充服务来提供。
