title: Use of digital photography in the Case orthodontic clinic.
abstract: In 2002, the orthodontic clinic at Case Western Reserve University totally converted to digital photography. We want to share the learning curve during this transition with clinicians planning the same change. A system and a protocol were developed for this transition; they have been in use for over a year. This system allows the handling of digital cameras when there are more clinicians than cameras; it can be applied to various specialties or fields.
