title: Digital diagnosis records in orthodontics. An overview.
abstract: Digital technology is becoming day by day a more important procedure in most of the clinic activities and, thus, orthodontists are increasingly adding digital technology to their orthodontics records. In this article we want to outline the advantages and disadvantages of the use of digital photography, digital radiography as well as one of the latest developments: the digital study stone casts. We will also present the state of the art related to dentists that use these digital records routinely in our country.
