Cognitive science: is a research area that draws

on several fields (such as psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and philosophy) to develop theories of perception, thinking, and learning.

Cognitive science relates to information science as we try to understand how information is represented in the human mind.

Computer science relates to information science as try to simulate our mental processes in computing environments.

Biomedicine is replete with complex cognitive processes (such as diagnosis, treatment planning, and evaluation).

Computer science: is a discipline that

involves the understanding and design of computers and computational processes. Here, the emphasis is not on information, but how it is represented, processed, manipulated, and managed in computing systems.

Telecommunications: Is the science that deals

with communication at a distance.

Transmission of digital images efficiently resulted in new approaches to image compression and transmission.

Another example is aggregating information from many different sources, such as information about the same patient from different healthcare providers.

Endodontics Digital radiography refers

to a method of capturing a radiographic image using a sensor, breaking it into an electronic pieces, and presenting and storing the image using a computer.

The sensor receives the analog information and converter (ADC) to converts it to a digital image

The image is displayed within seconds or minutes on the computer screen in front of the clinician and the patient/client.

Viewbox is advanced software for cephalometric analysis. It is used in Orthodontic Departments around the world. Viewbox can be

customized to almost any task. Points, measurements and analyses are not 'hard-wired', enabling you to go beyond the confines of

cephalometric radiographs and perform measurements on any kind of radiograph, photograph or other two-dimensional or 3-D image.

Furthermore, sophisticated algorithms are included for image enhancement, facilitation of point identification and morphometric

3-D Scanning & MillingMany Chairside dental

CAD/CAM systems and Dental Laboratory CAD/CAM systems use 3D Scanner technologies to capture the 3D surface of a dental preparation (either in vivo or in vitro), in order to produce a restoration digitally using CAD software and ultimately produce the final restoration using a CAM technology (such as a CNC milling machine, or 3D printer). The chairside systems are designed to facilitate the 3D scanning of a preparation in vivo and produce the restoration (such as a Crown, Onlay, Inlay or Veneer).

Image-guided dental implantology It provides a full 3D view

of the patient’s anatomy, as a basis for evaluation and functional and aesthetic implant planning.

Accurate examination of bone, muscles and other tissues by switching among them in real-time

Its high image definition facilitates the observation of the anatomical structures, allowing proper and secure planning and reducing all uncertainties during surgery.

Oct-2012Searching Dental E Sources- EM Al-Madi 26

Time series analysis stands for comparing image data sets from the same person or specimen taken at different times to show the changes.

Image segmentation, rigid registration and a voxel based non-rigid registration as well as 3D visualization, allows a time series analysis based on DICOM CT images.

In dentistry the scope of further application ranges from pre- and postoperative oral surgery images (orthognathic surgery, trauma surgery) to endodontic and orthodontic treatment.

Virtual Patients The Virtual Dental Patient (VDP)

application was designed to aid dentists in getting acquainted with the teeth anatomy, the handling of drilling instruments and the challenges associated with the drilling procedure.

The VDP simulator allows the user to : view/manipulate a 3-D head and oral

cavity model constructed using anatomical data,

adapt the model to the characteristics of specific patient using either facial photographs or 3D data,

animate it using an MPEG-compatible facial animation player and

perform virtual tooth drilling within the oral cavity using a Phantom haptic device to control the drilling tool.

Drilling is performed on 3D volumetric/surface models of teeth, obtained from cross sections of real teeth.

Manikin-based simulators

DentSim™, consists of a manikin with head and dentoform (plastic teeth), a dental hand-piece and a light, an infrared camera and two computers. The manikin head and the hand-piece contain infrared emitters that are tracked by the infrared camera. Using this optical tracking system to trace the movements of a hand piece, the simulator scores the accuracy of a student's cavity preparation in a manikin’s synthetic tooth.

Image guidance simulators

Image Guided Implantology (IGI), for teaching, diagnosis, treatment planning and placement of implants. Providing a particular patient’s CAT scan, the simulator allows the patient and the virtual model image to be coordinated during the actual surgery. If the computer recognizes that the surgeon is making a serious deviation from the treatment plan during the actual surgery, the computer will stop the hand-piece and the surgeon will need to override the computer to continue.

Haptic DevicesVirtual Reality Dental Training System

(VRDTS). Aiming for cavity preparation, the

software simulates a set of dental instruments.

Using VRDTS dental students work with a virtual decayed tooth and learn to probe it for diagnosis, use a drill to prepare a tooth for cavity repair, fill the prepared cavity with amalgam and carve the amalgam to match the original tooth contour. Unlike plastic teeth, VRDTS enables the student to feel the difference between enamel, dentin, caries, amalgam and pulp throughout the procedure.

The student's operation can be tracked precisely in real time, providing quantifiable feedback to both student and teacher.

Lastly, since the entire process is virtual, the student has the ability to zoom, rotate and even cut the tooth in cross section to better understand the process. VRDTS offers the student the opportunity to practice procedures as often as needed, with no additional cost for materials. Oct-2012

Haptic DevicesPerioSim Force Feedback Dental

Simulator

Students guide a stylus on-screen that resembles an explorer They can feel life-like tactile sensations as they navigate through various procedures.

Students can access PerioSim via the Internet. A realistic 3-D human mouth is shown in real-time, and the user can adjust the model position, viewpoint and transparency level.

The system allows instructors to create short scenarios of periodontal procedures, which can be saved and replayed at any time. The 3-D component permits students to replay from any angle, so the user can observe different views of the placement of the instrument and gingival relationships during a procedure, Steinberg said.

The recorded file is an actual representation of the original scenario, which offers great training potential.

The program also allows for a second playback mode, where an instructor leads the trainee through the program. By simply holding onto the haptic stylus, the trainee receives the same sensations felt by the instructor.

Although students are presented with massive amounts of information during their course of study, more often than not, students graduate with gaps in their knowledge.

Accessing recent online information is very important to help clinicians and students answer questions that might arise during their clinical practice.

Reference Managers

Reference management software, citation management software or personal bibliographic management software is software for scholars and authors to use for recording and utilizing bibliographic citations (references).

Once a citation has been recorded, it can be used time and again in generating bibliographies, such as lists of references in scholarly books, articles and essays.

Oct-2012Searching Dental E Sources- EM Al-Madi

Page 75: Searching Dental E sources- 491 Den Oct 2012

Reference management software collects a much smaller database, of the publications that have been used or are likely to be used by a particular author or group, and such a database can easily be housed on an individual's personal computer.
