The feasibility of a three-dimensional charting interface for general dentistry. Export

@article{citeulike:5656967, abstract = {BACKGROUND: Most current paper- and computer-based formats for patient documentation use a two-dimensional dental chart, a design that originated almost 150 years ago in the United States. No studies have investigated the inclusion of a three-dimensional (3-D) charting interface in a general dental record. METHODS: A multidisciplinary research team with expertise in human-computer interaction, dental informatics and computer science conducted a 14-week project to develop and evaluate a proof of concept for a 3-D dental record. Through several iterations of paper- and computer-based prototypes, the project produced a high-fidelity (hi-fi) prototype that was evaluated by two dentists and two dental students. RESULTS: The project implemented a prototypical patient record built around a 3-D model of a patient's maxillofacial structures. Novel features include automatic retrieval of images and radiographs; a flexible view of teeth, soft tissue and bone; access to historical patient data through a timeline; and the ability to focus on a single tooth. CONCLUSIONS: Users tests demonstrated acceptance for the basic design of the prototype, but also identified several challenges in developing intuitive, easy-to-use navigation methods and hi-fi representations in a 3-D record. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Test participants in this project accepted the preliminary design of a 3-D dental record. Significant further research must be conducted before the concept can be applied and evaluated in clinical practice.}, author = {Schleyer, Titus K. and Thyvalikakath, Thankam P. and Malatack, Pat and Marotta, Michael and Shah, Tej A. and Phanichphant, Purin and Price, Greg and Hong, Jason}, citeulike-article-id = {5656967}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://view.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17670873}, citeulike-linkout-1 = {http://www.hubmed.org/display.cgi?uids=17670873}, issn = {0002-8177}, journal = {Journal of the American Dental Association (1939)}, month = {August}, number = {8}, pages = {1072--1080}, posted-at = {2009-08-27 14:00:41}, priority = {2}, title = {The feasibility of a three-dimensional charting interface for general dentistry.}, url = {http://view.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17670873}, volume = {138}, year = {2007} }
