A method for diagnosing and interpreting dental conditions (10) using a computer system is disclosed. An image of the lesion being diagnosed is captured (12) and terms describing the lesion are selected (14). A differential diagnosis list of the most probable lesions is returned (16). The user views details about each listed lesion until a match is selected and appropriate medications for the selected lesion are presented. Medication details are reviewed and a proper medication to prescribe is selected. The user can generate a prescription, treatment algorithm, directions report, or a medication report. If the user is uncomfortable with the diagnosis, a referral report can be generated. For performing routine interpretation of dental conditions, the user captures an image for digital x-ray analysis. The user selects the task, such as caries detection, for which to optimize the image. |
