The mortality rate regarding oral cancer is estimated at approximately 12,300 deaths per year, and the survival rate is simply 40% to 50% for diagnosed individuals and is closely related to the early disease perception time between and its diagnosis and treatment plan (Dantas et DO����������,Q�WKH�ÀHOG�RI�RUDO�FDQFHU��WKHUH�DUH�LPSRUWDQW� researchers focusing on knowledge of oral cancer among adult dental subjects attending dental clinics (Razavi et al., 2015), which highlights the need of other studies involving the use of educational strategies for oral cancer evaluation. In this context, the advent of digital photography allowed the photographic documentation to become routine in many services of oral and maxillofacial cancer. In addition, the acquisition and storage of photographic documentations has become easier, faster and with reduced costs.

This program has become popular due to the many advantages it offers, including the ease of making last minute changes and customization, the possibility of incorporating multimedia files, portability, and cost reductions (Regennitter, 2000). Clinical images may be enhanced through alignments, cropping, brightness/ contrast optimization, and color corrections, requiring a minimum of skills by users (Halazonetis, 2002). Microsoft® PowerPoint has been described as an incorporation software. Images are easily produced, edited and stored without loss of quality or resolution. It is the state of art in presentation software, with the addition of clinical content (Hegarty, 1999). In a presentation, the creation of a standardized template it is often useful. Microsoft® PowerPoint provides the Slide Master as a valuable tool. Although this tool is not shown in the presentation, it serves as a template the top slide in a hierarchy of slides that stores information about the theme and layout of a presentation, including the background, color, fonts, effects, placeholder sizes, and positioning. In addition, the Slide Master allows visually satisfactory results, optimizing time in long-duration presentations, since all changes can be performed at one time (Halazonetis, 1998).

It is possible to insert master slides (e.g. slides representing the preoperative period, imaging exams, and postoperative evaluation) with proper layouts. Besides the possibility of inserting several layouts in each Slide Master, there are a number of options that can be easily editable as described in the )LJXUH����$GGLWLRQDOO\��WKH�ÀJXUH�SODFHKROGHUV�FDQ�EH� arranged to provide an adequate orientation of the image rotation arrows according to object position during the SKRWRJUDSKLF�UHFRUG��)LJXUH�����)RU�H[DPSOH��LI�D�SURÀOH� ZDV�SKRWRJUDSKHG�ZLWK�WKH�ÁDVK�WRZDUGV�WKH�OHIW��WKH� arrow above the placeholder should be pointed in the left.

Hence, the present description about guidelines and their functionality could be applied to all versions of Power Point for Windows. However, screen recording and Apps are available only in 2013 Microsoft Power Point version. Mobile devices, both android and iOS (iPhones and iPads) systems, allow all the Slide Master functionalities. However, these systems show some limitations regarding the applicability of the tools described in the present article. The options “insert photo album”, “screen recording” and use of Apps are not able to be used in current versions of PowerPoint for these systems. Similarly, Microsoft PowerPoint version for Mac OS does not provide these tools. A solution for the problem related to the image insertion may be the use of Iphotos® that allows insertion of multiple pictures into the slide. Regarding the unavailable screen recording option, Apple® offers the QuickTime® as a free downloadable software. Thus, there is an interesting possibility of embedding a DICOM movie (converted from a Quick Time movie) in a customized PowerPoint presentation. Another relevant issue in Power Point presentations is the security to avoid unauthenticated changes. Since an increasing number of presentations availabe in the World Wide Web has become widespread, a password can be assigned to prevent unauthorized users from opening/ editing a document. Hence, to create a password the option of exporting presentation should be selected, followed by Package Presentation for CD and advanced options to enter a valid password aiming to open or modify a presentation. Future trends have been heading for making increasingly dynamic and interactive presentations. In this context, a new available tool for any device is the 2IÀFH�0L[�WKDW�DOORZV�WR�UHFRUG��ZULWH��DQG�GUDZ�RQ�VOLGHV� just like a whiteboard, as well as to add quizzes, video, and interactive content. In brief, the advent of digital midia improved quickly and more cost effectively the registration of clinical cases.
