Discover the Perio Exam in Dentally

Dentally is always on a mission to make your working lives simple and a big part of this is listening to you - so let's spotlight some of the changes our development team have made after listening to your feedback to ensure your perio examinations run smoother and easier than ever. 

Clear tooth icons  

Missing, extracted or unerupted teeth are more clearly depicted on the graphical chart representation of the patient's mouth. This, combined with our 'Tooth Status' shows a clearer depiction of the patient's dentition - where a previously missing tooth is now marked as implanted, six pocket charting is possible around the implant. With the implant ‘replaced’ status, we hope to relieve some of that stress and frustration and instead, provide you with a more intuitive system to make your work effortless.    

Perio exam comparisons  

Our compare function gives you the ability to overlay two selected exams at once, clearly highlighting areas of improvement or decline. A perio exam can be compared easily against any previous exam, meaning you can compare over several years if needed.  

At Dentally we want to help improve your workflows and make your daily lives easier, so on top of comparing examinations you can also rename your perio exams, which will help in identifying key stages of your patient’s progress. This all works directly from the perio screen, so no need to worry about swapping to another part of the patient’s record. While reviewing a patient's current or prior perio exam, you can choose to compare this with each of the patient's earlier exams. Improvement or decline in each of the recordings is clearly highlighted, allowing you to show the patient the benefits of their progress or where attention is required.  

Workflow settings 

We understand that not all clinicians work the same way. Our perio exam allows you to configure the order that you record the exams to suit your workflow. You can change the sequence in which you record each side of each arch and even whether you work from right to left or left to right on each section.   

Based on our user’s feedback, you can choose whether the cursor automatically moves on to the next pocket each time you input a reading, or if you would prefer to move on manually. These preferences are set per user and remembered across exams – so you only need to set up your preferences once!  

This design highlights easy-to-see rows for each recording on each tooth, allowing for simple understanding not just for you but for your patient, meaning better patient education. Each row records a different piece of data, so we have also included a filter section for you to pick and choose exactly which rows you want to see when viewing the chart. If you only need to compare the mobility reading you can remove all other recordings - just see exactly what you need for a clear picture of the patient's overall perio health. 

With Dentally perio you can improve your workflow as a dentist, as well as increase the patient's exposure to the quality of care they are receiving. Patients will be able to see the payoff from your treatment clearer than ever and learn the importance of caring for their teeth correctly with help from intuitive features at your fingertips.
