А Simple Path to Digital Dentistry.
Today, we’ll explain what Digital Dentistry is and answer the key questions: why it’s important and how a modern practice can implement it.
When it comes to the underlying factors, today’s dental practices are overwhelmed with data. This data comes from a variety of sources and exists in many different formats. Data sources include equipment, phone calls, face-to-face communication with patients, results from other software systems, and more. Data types range from medical records and imaging, to treatment plans and diagnoses, to patient contact details and visit scheduling information.
The root of this fragmentation lies in the fact that each data source – such as scanners – stores information in its own separate database. As a result, retrieving a complete patient profile requires multiple requests across different systems, which significantly reduces the overall efficiency of the practice.
One way to solve the problems described above is by bringing together patient data from different sources into a single location. Modern technology makes this fairly straightforward using APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), which are supported by most up-to-date IT systems and equipment.
In our view, our platform can become the central hub and key to Digital Dentistry. Imagine this: instead of juggling multiple workspaces, you have everything in one app.
A key task in building Digital Dentistry is to determine which diagnostic equipment and services will be used in your practice – and what kind of information they will exchange.
Common data exchange scenarios include:
✓ Appointment times appear in popular calendar apps.
✓ Patient payment transactions are sent to the POS terminal.
✓ A new visit is scheduled in the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system and automatically appears in the calendar of our program.
✓ The patient record database is synced with any cloud service.
✓ An intraoral scanner image is attached to the patient’s record or treatment plan.
✓ A scan command is sent from the patient’s record directly to the intraoral scanner.
✓ AI generates a diagnosis based on an image attached to the patient’s file.
✓ Login to the system is done via National ID.
We’ve already developed a Digital Dentistry section that features integrated partner cloud services and equipment you can connect to our software and configure to exchange data based on your specific workflow.
Currently, the section includes around 50 integrations, and new ones are added within just a few days at the request of our users.
We are in the Top 10 dental software programs for 2022.
