A Standardized Approach to Extra-Oral and Intra-Oral Digital Photography
Published on: July 22, 2022
Abstract:
A basic aim of photographic documentation of clinical cases is to compare these cases with each other. Some examples illustrate possible misinterpretations due to inadequate or variable photographic conditions. To assess postoperative results is possible only in exact comparative photography. Depending upon specific problems, the required conditions are variable. Nevertheless, some general rules can be formulated. They should be applied in a photographic documentation of clinical cases.

Methods of Documentation II: POMR
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.
Methods of Documentation III: PIE
Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:
Healing II: Complications
Complications during healing arise when tissue repair is altered by local or systemic factors. These changes involve abnormal collagen deposition, altered biomechanics, and reduced vascular supply, impairing restoration of normal structure and function.Loss of FunctionScar tissue differs significantly from the original tissue it replaces. In the skin, fibrosis lacks adnexal structures such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. Their absence reduces tactile sensitivity, impairs...
