Use of digital photography in the Case orthodontic clinic.
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.
