All cases submitted for publication on edu.ToothIQ.net must be submitted by an adult, having legal capacity to enter into this agreement. Original Material, Rights Held by Treating Dentists You assert that the content embodied within your case study is original, that you are its author, and that you own the right to submit the case study for publication, including the right to publish any photographs, radiographs or other diagnostic images you submit to accompany your case study. In cases where treatment described in the case study was provided by more than one provider, the person agreeing to this agreement and submitting the case study for publication on edu.ToothIQ.net hereby asserts that: 1. All providers involved in the case are sufficiently acknowledged and correctly identified on the Case Study form; 2. All providers are aware that the case study is being submitted for publication; 3. All providers have approved of the case study as submitted; and 4. All providers agree to the terms of this Submission Agreement and the ToothIQ Case Study Privacy Policies. Actual, Non-Experimental Treatment You assert that the treatment outlined in the case study being submitted for publication on edu.ToothIQ.net was actually performed on a live human patient in clinical practice, is generally considered to fall within the scope of clinical dental practice, and does not represent hypothetical treatment, or treatment performed under laboratory conditions, whether or not on a human patient. Un-retouched Clinical Images You assert that any clinical images provided to accompany the case study are un-retouched, un-edited images, except as may be necessary to conceal the identity of the patient represented by the case study.

ToothIQ Case Study Privacy Policy

ToothIQ Case Study Privacy Policy This policy was last updated on November 9, 2009 Symbyos, developer and owner of edu.ToothIQ.net, and headquartered in Louisville, Colorado, USA, supports your right to privacy, as well as that of all patients whose diagnoses and treatment are the subject of any case studies it publishes. Therefore, the following privacy policies will be rigidly enforced. If you do not agree with the ToothIQ Case Study Privacy Policies as stated in this document, your sole remedy shall be not to submit any Case Studies for publication on edu.ToothIQ.net. Non-public Identifying Information of Case Study Author(s) Will Be Held in Confidence: If you submit a case for publication on edu.ToothIQ.net, you are contributing to the knowledge basis for a particular diagnosis. It may be desirable for other dentists who are providing care for patients with similar histories to contact you with questions. To facilitate interaction between providers in such circumstances, you may, at your sole discretion, choose to provide contact information along with your case study. Your non-public identifying information (i.e. email address) will not be disclosed to the public through edu.ToothIQ.net, unless you elect to make it public by checking the box provided for that purpose. Symbyos will not disclose your non-public identifying information for monetary gain or otherwise, without your express permission. If you do not wish to have your non-public identifying information disclosed on edu.ToothIQ.net, do not check the box making it public. You may elect to submit your email address in confidence to Symbyos along with your case study, so that we may forward queries from interested parties to you indirectly. If you do elect to furnish your email address in confidence to Symbyos, Symbyos will not add it to an "opt-in" email address list for advertising / spam purposes. Nor will we provide it to the person(s) who submitted the query about your case study without your express permission. For avoidance of doubt, if your email address is legitimately obtained by Symbyos from you via separate means, you may receive emails from/about Symbyos and/or ToothIQ which are not related to your case study. Privacy of patients will be maintained: Due to difficulties in obtaining patient consent to have identifying images published, Symbyos cannot publish photographs on edu.ToothIQ.net in which a patient is identifiable. Clinical photographs, radiographs, or other media presented to accompany a case study must not provide identifying information of any kind. Symbyos reserves the right at its sole discretion to modify patient images to make them non-identifiable, or to refuse to publish images which may risk disclosure of a patient's identity. For avoidance of doubt, clinical images have been published in various places on edu.ToothIQ.net in which a patient's identity is clearly evident. Symbyos asserts that in all such cases, appropriate permissions have been obtained to publish the identifying images.

Guidelines

Case Title: Be descriptive enough to help other users quickly determine the relevance of your case to their clinical situation.

Patient age and gender: Helps establish relevance more precisely, and may be useful at establishing epidemiologic patterns.

Medical History: Include pertinent conditions (past and present), syndromes, diseases, allergies; therapeutic medications/doses; surgeries; smoking and recreational drug/alcohol use; and social history which may be related to the diagnosis.

Dental History: Include pertinent conditions (past and present), oral syndromes, diseases; congenitally missing teeth; extracted teeth; decayed and restored teeth (in general terms); orthodontic history; malocclusions; periodontal history and status; history of abnormal occlusal function; neuromuscular and TMJ history and status if relevant.

Description of signs and symptoms: Include patient's chief complaint, and any relevant exam findings (clinical and radiographic).

Diagnosis: Include all diagnoses which were used to establish the patient's treatment plan.

Treatment options given: If certain available options were ruled out for your patient, please explain why.

Elected treatment: Describe the care your patient elected to undergo to address their chief complaint, as well as any other diagnostic findings you presented to them.

Treatment described: Be as specific as you can be (shade match techniques, materials used, implant type/size, etc.). More details provide a clearer picture to other dentists, and may help them achieve a better outcome for their own patient.

Treatment outcome: Some of the most effective case studies are those that illustrate failures. It may be important to speculate on why success was or was not achieved. Again, details may help other dentists to achieve better outcomes for their own patients.
