Welcome in the fascinating world of learning and multimedia! This courseware is the product of several hundred hours of work at the prepatory level as well as in the actual production of the document. We hope that the quality of this work meets with your expectations. To give you a glimse of what kind and how much information is packed in this courseware, a demo package was prepared: the main menu and the first screen of each chapter are fully functional, except for certain navigational functions. That way you can click on the different buttons to see what can happen.

When installation is done, you sould remove the temporary directory. Once part of the Bio-Age tutorial/database package, this interactive tutorial for the evaluation of Dental Age is now an upgraded course of its own, which can be used in conjunction with the new Electronic Encyclopedia on Skeletal Growth. With over 100 high-resolution images (x-rays, photographs and diagrams) and 800 pages of text, this document offers a high quality presentation of the findings of a 25 year research project on child growth & development. Aimed at dentists, orthodontists and pediatricians, the information given is divided into 5 sections: a tutorial (supported by a bibliography and some sample x-rays), a training module for beginner and advanced users, and a clinical evaluation utility for practical use.
