建立了一个原型远程牙科服务，包括一个基于PC的专家系统，旨在协助正畸病例。它指导全科牙科医生（GDP）评估患者的咬合不正，并帮助确保所有相关的临床观察和详细记录。然后，将包含放射线照相图像和临床数据的数据文件通过互联网传输给牙科专家。专家的建议通过同样的途径反馈，或酌情进行实时视频会议。在为期8个月的试验中，6名GDP通过远程牙科系统转介了158例病例;另有24例病例直接转介给当地顾问。试验期间使用的方案令人满意。总检察长认为，这是直截了当的，涵盖了他们提交的案件的所有方面。
A prototype teledentistry service was established that incorporated a PC-based expert system designed to assist in orthodontic cases. It guided the general dental practitioner (GDP) through the assessment of a patient's malocclusion and helped ensure that all relevant clinical observations were made and details recorded. The resulting data file, containing radiographic images and clinical data, was then transferred via the Internet to a dental specialist. The specialist's recommendations were returned by the same route or, where appropriate, a realtime videoconference was conducted. During an eight-month trial, six GDPs referred 158 cases through the teledentistry system; another 24 cases were referred directly to a local consultant. The protocol used during the trial worked satisfactorily. The GDPs found that it was straightforward and covered all aspects of the cases they submitted.
