The purpose of this area is the professional discussion of diagnosis and treatment planning or indeed treatment. It is designed to be an electronic method for far reaching consultation among clinicians globally and would be especially usefiul when unusual or difficult cases are encountered.
The objective is to invite clinicians in the Asian Pacific region or globally to place fully documented cases on this forum. Photographs of casts and the patient's dentition as well as full mouth radiographs can be sent to HKDA at hkda@hkda.org to be placed on this forum.
All case presentation should get prior approval from PICC / PEC before putting onto website.
Clinicians worldwide will be able to log into this forum and download the required images, and view them at their leisure. Comments on diagnosis, treatment planning or treatment can be placed after careful perusal of the downloaded material. This will be the beginning of tele-dental consultancy albeit in a simplified format. It is sincerely hoped that this forum will lead to the enhancement of clinical skills as well as broaden the practising clinician's treatment planning perspective. It is just this honing of skills on this cyber melting pot that will inevitably foster friendships among dentists worldwide and the idea of a global dental community serving the global population.
