Computer technology is having an increased impact in orthodontics, as in many health fields, with digital imaging and radiography, three-dimensional virtual models and various CAD/CAM technologies affecting everyday practice. This volume considers the influence of Information Technology on the present and future clinical practice of orthodontics. This volume brings articles by researchers and clinicians from orthodontics together with work by those who provide technology services to the specialty. Do these innovations truly improve the quality of patient care, or is it simply ‘technology for technology’s sake?’ A variety of topics are addressed, with the ultimate intention of providing a state-of-the-art volume on this most current topic of Information Technology.
