It make use of a particular camera called intra-oral camera, also called dental camera, inorder to perform the photo shooting and real-time video of the inner part of the mouth. The pictures acquired by the Operator with such a device are sent to the Oral Medicine Expert (OME)by means of a current File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service and the real-time video is channeled into a video streaming thanks to the VideoLan client/server (VLC) application. It is composed by a HTML5 web-pages generated by PHP and allows to performthe Second Opinion both when Operator and OME are logged and when one of them is offline.
