Teleradiology: a new era for dentistry radiology

Abstract

The paper aims to clarify and show Teleradiology applied to Dentistry. Based on literature, the article emphasizes the diverse applicability of dental radiology teleguided and their applicability in day to day of the dentist. With the advances in Information Technology (IT), it is possible today, in real time, the performance of radiographic reports, cephalometric and surgical planning with virtual-surgery programs for the dentist to do your clinical evaluation along with exams through dental images over the Internet. This new type of dental radiology professionals benefit comes with greater interactivity and speed of the results of imaging tests, as well as patients, who through a personal computer can access your exams. The final production cost of these tests are well reduced by not using conventional radiographic films and chemicals for its image processing and printing papers of the results, this is also a great advantage over the financial and ecological sustainable growth for a new standard format of these exams. Currently it takes an integration between IT professionals, that all these systems are fully operational, we need rapid image acquisition and transmission simultaneously so that the method is validated. Another important aspect is the ability of radiologists to have the technical and scientific knowledge of different aspects of pathological changes in the images associated with the domain of computer programs that interactively promote the planning and treatment of patients and virtual embodiment and computational modeling of clinical case called biomedical prototyping.
