The quality of the service, in terms of patient satisfaction improvement, is an evermore important objective to be achieved in all sectors of the medicine, and it is more evident in the orthodontic field, due to the high percentage of interested people. The information technologies can give a meaningful contribution to the processes improvement. However, CAD, CAM, CAE systems have been conceived and developed to be used in the industrial fields. On the other hand, in our opinion, they have to be evaluated, studied and customized to be usable in medicine. In this context the present research aims to define an ideal chain of advanced technological solutions, considering Reverse Engineering (RE) and Rapid Prototyping (RP), for supporting the critical processes of the orthodontist activity.

Abstract
The quality of the service, in terms of patient satisfaction improvement, is an evermore important objective to be achieved in all sectors of the medicine, and it is more evident in the orthodontic field, due to the high percentage of interested people. The information technologies can give a meaningful contribution to the processes improvement. However, CAD, CAM, CAE systems have been conceived and developed to be used in the industrial fields. On the other hand, in our opinion, they have to be evaluated, studied and customized to be usable in medicine. In this context the present research aims to define an ideal chain of advanced technological solutions, considering Reverse Engineering (RE) and Rapid Prototyping (RP), for supporting the critical processes of the orthodontist activity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
