Background: Understanding and controlling the impact of change decides about the success or failure of evolving products. The problem magnifies for start-ups operating with limited resources. Their usual focus is on Minimum Viable Product (MVP's) providing specialized functionality, thus have little expense available for handling changes. Aims: Change Impact Analysis (CIA) refers to the identification...
Today digital medical imaging starts to be more introduced in the daily practice for clinical, educational, research uses. The work reported in this paper is done within the context of the Research Project UEFISCDI No. 31/2014, “AIMMS - Application for Using Image Data Mining and 3D Modeling in Dental Screening”. AIMMS provides an integrated platform to support dental treatment methods using the most...
The objective of this systematic review is to identify current computer‐assisted technologies used for managing patients with a need to re‐establish craniofacial appearance, subjective discomfort and stomatognathic function, and the extent of their clinical documentation. Electronic search strategies were used for locating clinical studies in MEDLINE through PubMed and in the Cochrane library, and...
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of tooth guide trainer software (TGT) on the teaching of shade matching to dental students. MethodsForty undergraduate students were included in this study. All of the students learned theory knowledge of shade matching firstly and then were divided into two groups with 12 boys and 8 girls in each group. Students in one group accepted shade matching training...
In recent times, biomedical technology has received a major boost due to advancements in electronics. Sophisticated surgical instruments and patient monitoring devices have not only eased the burden on the doctors shoulders but have also taken patient care to a whole new level. However, the field of dentistry is yet to experience a major surge of technological innovation particularly when it comes...
This paper describes the development of a decision support system (DSS) using System Dynamics (SD) simulation approach to project and analyse the supply of dentist at both local and private Malaysian healthcare provider from 2015 to 2030. The project was driven by the need to provide sustainable, quality dental services in a complex environment given fluctuations in dental graduate numbers, migrations,...
Dental biofilm is the deposition of microbial material over a tooth substratum. Several methods have recently been reported in the literature for biofilm quantification; however, at best they provide a barely automated solution requiring significant input needed from the human expert. On the contrary, state-of-the-art automatic biofilm methods fail to make their way into clinical practice because...
In this paper an innovative software for mobile devices based on the Android operating system is presented. This tool of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is designed to be used by brazilian health professionals in the data collection and storage tasks of general and oral health conditions, in home care in field trips to work with families in vulnerability. Its use provided more agility,...
This paper discussed the effect of vowel (fatha, kasra and damma) in Arabic consonants. These vowels are added to the basic consonants with three simple diacritics using the utterances of every dental consonant concerned by Malaysian children. The dental consonants refer to the consonants utter using dental medium. It is called the place of articulation at labiodentals, dental and interdental. The...
The application of dental implants proposes a successful treatment both partially and fully edentulous patients. However, the placement of implants is not without risk due to anatomically complex operation sites in the cranio-maxillofacial region. Therefore, in the field of oral implantology, there is a trend towards computer-aided implant surgery. In this study, an integrated surgical planning and...
Software plus Services might be the next step in the evolution of computing. Software plus Services is a concept that Software as a Service (SaaS) complements the traditional packaged software running on both client and server by services adding value. CephSmileV2 is dental application software for 2D cephalometric analysis, dental model analysis and focusing on orthodontics treatment planning and...
In order to provide a more relaxing environment where the dental students can learn to memorize the fundamental knowledge as well as the processes and techniques in dental casting, we used the GBL concept as the basis to construct a system model. We had taken the process of dental lost-wax casting and integrated through gaming, the theories and practical skills in the dental casting course, to create...
The image quality obtained by a radiographic equipment is very useful to characterize the physical properties of the image radiographic chain, in a quality control of the radiographic equipment. In the radiographic technique it is necessary that the evaluation of the image can guarantee the constancy of its quality to carry out a suitable diagnosis. In this work we have designed some radiographic...
This paper firstly introduces the function and hardware components of the robot. Then the complex motion trajectory which must be implemented in small space is analyzed in accordance with the requirements of the control of archwire bending. Various communications methods that are used to set up a communication between the robot and the host control computer is studied as well as the principle and...
The usage of developed CAD & CAM system could design and manufacture the crowns and needed fillings, doctors use the software program "CAD system" to design the crown or the filling, then the milling unite start shaping the designed crown.
This paper presents the development of three-dimensional (3D) computer aided orthodontic software using Borland C++ Builderreg and OpenGL with the purpose of creating the 3D orthodontic treatment simulation. The method consists of 4 main steps as follows: the dental cast produced by 3D scanner in STL format was transformed from un-indexed data to an indexed data and taken as input in the first step...
Dental implants have been widely chosen for the treatment for persons who lost one, two or even several teeth. The planning for placing the implant in the suitable location, which concerned the bone properties and nerves, is the crucial part for this procedure. Many commercial softwares offer the function to assist dentists to visualize the right positioning. The result of the program can lead to...
Currently, there are computer technologies that could help orthodontists in diagnostic and planning process. The software could assist in treatment planning to be clearer and more accurate. Also, many researchers have started to create the software for a treatment guideline preview for the patients as well. In this research, our software has been developed and needed tools and algorithms for orthodontic...
Refactoring is the process of changing software's structure while preserving its external behavior. Refactoring tools can improve the speed and accuracy with which developers create and maintain software-but only if they are used. In practice, tools are not used as much as they could be; this seems to be because sometimes they do not align with the refactoring tactic preferred by most programmers,...
