[Automation for the orthodontics model analysis using a digital caliper].

Abstract

1. The discussed program structure is a common one and is transferable to other computer systems. 2. The structure is independent from computer language and thus is usable with various computer languages. 3. This proposal for automation is helpful in treatment planning but it cannot substitute the orthodontists diagnostic work. 4. Because of the modular structure the program can be used for daily practice as well as for extensive scientific works. 5. The program can be included totally or partly in other programs and used as an integral part of existing programs.
