INTERACTIVE TOOL FOR THE CORRECT TRACING AND CEPHALOMETRIC LANDMARK LOCALIZATION IN POSTEROANTERIOR X-RAYS
Introduction: this is a research paper from the “Pedagogical research processes and technology applied to teaching and learning” of the “Odontoposgrados” research group of the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia at Bogotá. During the learning process on dentofacial deformities, it has been identified some mistakes in cephalometric landmark localization on the posteroanterior X Rays images. For that reason, it was designed a tool to reinforce this learning and to make the localization of the points easier for the students.
Objective: to design and develop an interactive tool to help students of orthopedics functional and orthodontics acquire skills to make the correct tracing and cephalometric landmark localization in the posteroanterior X Rays.
Materials and methods: a literature review was carried out before doing the design of the cd. Following this, it was organized in three thematic units: recommendations, anatomic tracings, and cephalometric landmarks localization. The tool was developed as a Multimedia Platform: Flash, Language: Actionscript 2.0 Version web: Platform: Html5, swf. Programming: javascript. Styles: css. Results: an interactive tool for the appropriate tracing and cephalometric landmarks localization in the posteroanterior radiography was done.
Conclusion: this cd serves as a support for improving diagnosis and treatment planning of pacients with dentofacial deformities.
