Amelogenesis imperfecta and the treatment plan - interdisciplinary team approach.

Amelogenesis imperfecta is a set of hereditary defects representing mainly the development defects of enamel without the presence of whole-body symptoms. Developmental disorders can manifest a complete absence of enamel, which is caused by improper differentiation of ameloblasts. This article describes the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with amelogenesis imperfecta, as well as the need for interdisciplinary cooperation to achieve the best possible morphological, skeletal, functional and aesthetic rehabilitation of the patients with this diagnosis.

The WEB 2.0 induced paradigm shift in the e-learning and the role of crowdsourcing in dental education.

Objectives: Authors evaluated the effect of the WEB 2.0 environment on dental education and estimated the difference in retention of knowledge by cephalometric analysis in orthodontics between conventional education and off-line e-learning.

Background: Five years of experience with complex web-based e-learning system allowed the evaluation by retrospective analysis and on-line questionnaire.

Digital and manual cephalometric analysis.

Objectives: To compare the manual and digital cephalometric analyses and to research a new procedure of analog cephalogram digitalization.

Methods: 40 repeated measurements were used to evaluate the reproducibility and reliability of both methods. The analog x-ray was CHIRALUX2, the digital camera used was Canon PowerShot G5 and the digital tracing was done by Dolphin imaging version 10.
