Dental Informatics - A Paradigm Shift in Dentistry
Dr Teenu Vijayan, Dr Swetalin Das
Abstract: Computer education of medical students is progressively being introduced in medical schools in many countries, and several national organizations have recommended its integration in the medical curriculum. The justification for this measure resides in the belief that more information about computers may help the successful implementation of medical applications of computers, that the uses of computers in medicine are becoming more frequent and doctors must be prepared to use them, and also that the use of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) is becoming widely available and students must be familiar with computers in order to use that material available on daily basis. The aim of dental informatics is the application of computer and information science to improve dental practice, research, education, and management. The way it has eased up the working conditions is truly remarkable and hence need to be explored more.
