Abstract
 Provision of the medical information for the person with the visual impairment is one of the problems about the reduction of the information gap. Most of information about the dental practice are provided to the patient in a document, and it is difficult for the person with the visual impairment to read and understand an explanation document righted by visible characters. “Law for Elimination of Disability Discrimination” is established, and it is expected that realization of “reasonable accommodation” in the law is demanded. Therefore, construction of the information support system in dentistry to the people with the visual impairments is urgent need. Here we report a case made it possible to build a system that can be provided by Braille and a figure about the dental information and operate conveniently.
