Gingiva Assessment Tool—a clinical decision support system to evaluate the esthetic risk for gingiva-shade ceramics in a fixed dental prosthesis

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to present a dental informatics assessment tool that acts as a clinical decision support system to clearly identifies the risk factors that may affect the final result of the prosthetic rehabilitation. Employing knowledge and know-how in Mobile App Development, User Interface and User Experience, the application “Gingiva Assessment Tool” was designed with a lean, simplified interface in order to provide a straightforward and informative experience, with minimal to zero prerequisites for its use. The dental informatics application presented in this paper intends to guide clinicians in the evaluation phase that precedes the rehabilitation with a fixed dental prosthesis with a gingiva-shade ceramics component.
