title: A new teaching tool for dental and medical schools: multimedia CD-ROM on dental and skeletal development.
abstract: Multimedia teaching tools in Medicine are still very rare. Their presentation on a CD-ROM format is part of the emerging technologies in Medical Informatics. The Multimedia material presented here on Dental and Skeletal Development is mostly a Database and a Tutorial. The Database, which contains more than 2000 hand/wrist radiographs, is mostly intended for Pediatricians, Endocrinologists, Forensic Dentists and Physicians, as well as for Orthodontists and Pedodontists. The material is the result of 20-year of Longitudinal Growth study of children in Montreal. In this Multimedia CD-ROM, the research results are used for Medical teaching purposes.
