Published: December 2000

This study shows the planning process and the first stages of the implementation of a project to digitize over 120,000 photographic negatives and transparencies from The Wellcome Trust's Medical Photographic Library collection. It shows how and why decisions were made and the resulting resourcing implications. Following the planning and proposal stages it details the results of tests carried out after equipment installation, and the subsequent revisions of original estimates and amendments to decisions on resolution levels. The implementation of the scanning project is described along with some modifications made to the work processes as a result of early experience of the project. In conclusion, it suggests that a constant process of review of processes, equipment and planning is necessary to maintain a successful digitization project.

Thus, exploring alternative, non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment modalities is warranted. In dermatology, vitamin C is extensively used for depigmentation and microneedling for collagen induction, with limited literature about its usage for improving gingival esthetics.
