Abstract:

In this study, a description of newly fully automated interactive software for designing removable partial denture’s framework is presented. In addition, the paradigm specifications, applications and benefits are discussed in details. The system is addressed to dental students individually and collectively during their preclinical and clinical stages of formal dental study. It offers great scientific help, time-saving, and immediate diagnosis as a solving pragmatic facility for simple to complicated clinical conditions that might incorporate unlimited influencing factors. It is also addressed to professional dentists and technicians during elaboration and management of partially edentulous patients. Private and public dental centers can get great benefit of this application. At university level, with some customization and addition of extra necessary subroutines, it can be used online as a centrally oriented teaching software that saves time and efforts of the students and teachers as well. Individual students can use it to study, assess, compare and edify a compound medical and dental knowledge towards collective experience and high skill in-home learning. Some of the system advantages in teaching, it permits individual and collective formal and summative assessments. Additionally, the system allows to connect and discuss solutions with peers and health professionals to standardize diagnosis and share final patient’s management. When the treated cases reach a statistically calculable number, the system can provide the health planners with many useful information regarding the treatment needed and analysis of socioeconomical and pathoanatomical conditions.
