A new concept of education and knowledge retrieval through network systems.

Recent epidemiological investigations reveal increasing figures of prevalence of dental traumatology; however, basic and clinical research is rather scarce in the scientific literature. The development of computer technologies and the advent of communication pathways through network systems offer increased opportunities to disseminate theoretical and practical data on dento-facial traumatisms. A new server launched on Internet, the global network system, is described and proposed to allow better recognition and information sharing through both practitioners and institutions in the field of dental traumatology.
