[The computer: practical application in dentomaxillofacial orthodontics].
We have proposed a system of data processing adapted to the specific conditions of dento-maxillo-facial orthopaedics. The volume of information storage and the need for their real-time processing have led to a system of multiple terminals separating the administrative aspects from the technical applications. The progress in computer material will rapidly lead to the disappearance of paper files and documents (impressions, teleradiography). A review of the literature confirms that there is no other equivalent system available at the present time. We are convinced by the computerized organisation.
