The Simple Path to Digital Dentistry.

 

If we talk about the prerequisites, today dental practice is catastrophically redundant in terms of data. These data differ in sources and types. Data sources – equipment, phone calls, personal communication with patients, process results from other software, etc. Data types – medical data/dental snapshot, treatment data/diagnosis, patient data/phone number, process data/visit time, etc.

The reason for the disparate data is that each data source, such as intraoral scanner, stores data in its own databases. As a result, for complete patient data, multiple queries to different sources are required, which reduces efficiency.

One way to solve these problems is to combine patient data from different sources in one place. Modern technologies allow us to do this quite simply through API (application programming interface), which is supported by most modern IT solutions and equipment. In our opinion, the central place and key to Digital Dentistry could be our platform.

Our understanding of Digital Dentistry today is that it is a set of state-of-the-art diagnostic dental equipment and various digital tools combined together to improve the efficiency of patient data.

We have already implemented the Digital Dentistry section, which hosts partner cloud services and equipment that can be connected to our program and set up data transfer according to your scenario. Today, there are about 50 partner integrations in the section, and new ones are added at the request of our users in a matter of days.

An important task of building Digital Dentistry is to determine what diagnostic equipment and software services will be used in the practice and what information they will share.

Popular information sharing scenarios

• In Google calendar display the time of visits.
• A patient payment transaction is sent to the POS terminal.
• In CRM (Customer Relationship Management), a new visit is scheduled and appears in our program’s Calendar.
• Synchronization of patient record database with any cloud service.
• The image from the intraoral scanner is attached to the patient record or treatment plan.
• The command to start scanning is sent from the patient record to the intraoral scanner.
• Login to the program is done by National ID.
