Handbook of Research on Dental Computing and Applications: Advanced Techniques for Clinical Dentistry
Proposal Deadline: October 15, 2007 Full Chapter Submission Deadline: February 1, 2008
[edit] Introduction
The handbook will present the main concepts of the applications of Computing in Clinical Dentistry. This book will lead students and advanced researchers to an understanding of current ideas in the analysis of dental data with informatic tools and will provide general information on how to search for and find evidence-based medical and dental information on the Web. The role of technology in the dental office and common technology-related problems in a general dental practice will be also presented. The Handbook of Research on Dental Computing and Applications: Advanced Techniques for Clinical Dentistry will provide a compendium of terms, definitions, explanations of concepts, processes and acronyms. Additionally, this volume will feature chapters authored by leading experts offering an in-depth description of key terms and concepts related to different areas, issues and trends in information science and technologies in hospitals and other organizations worldwide. The Handbook is scheduled for publishing by Information Science Reference (formerly Idea Group Reference), an imprint of IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), www.igi-pub.com, in 2008.
