Dentistry is in the early stages of a major technological transformation. For the most part, however, computers and many of the other technological tools dentists use to gather or display clinical information, including intraoral cameras, digital radiography, and multimedia systems, have been less productive then they could be. This paper examines several offices where this technology is currently in use to provide working models of how integrated technology can be implemented into operatories to make them more flexible, productive, and resourceful environments for clinicians, and assist the clinician in creating a corresponding improvement in patient care.
牙科正处于重大技术变革的早期阶段。然而，在很大程度上，牙医用于收集或展示临床信息的计算机及许多其他技术工具，包括口腔内摄像头、数字放射成像和多媒体系统，其效率并未达到应有的水平。本文考察了几个目前正在使用这项技术的诊所，以提供一些工作模式示例，展示如何将集成技术应用于诊疗室，使其成为对临床医生而言更灵活、高效且资源丰富的环境，并协助临床医生相应地改善患者护理。
