Current computer systems improve the health professional's ability to store, retrieve, and present visual data in a way never before possible. Health professionals in general are beginning to use computer‐based digital imaging to improve the diagnosis and treatment planning of disease processes. The use of computer‐based networks to transmit medical and dental data is in its infancy but promises to be the main form of data transmission of the future. This article outlines a few applications presently being used and developed at the Ohio State University College of Dentistry in the preclinical and clinical courses in prosthodontics.
