Web-based training tool for interpreting dental radiographic images.

A web-based training tool for interpreting dental radiographic images was developed at University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee (UWM) and evaluated at Marquette University (MU) dental school. The tool provides a self-instructional environment that will simulate the teacher- student interaction in the instruction of the interpretation of dental diagnostic images and allows students to review various abnormalities that the general practitioner may encounter. The training tool also can support off-site instruction and continuing education programs.
