Integrating technology into dental practices

Article Abstract:

Computer technology may help dentists simplify and improve practice management. In the 1990s, computers became increasingly powerful and affordable which stimulated the growth of the dental computer industry. Graphical user interface (GUI) operating systems, which feature icons, make dental software easier to use, add power, and are good generators of patient information. Dentists can use computer software to maintain a database of patient information and to generate sophisticated reports for collections and insurance management. Comprehensive treatment planning and patient tracking for continuing care or recall are capabilities of computer systems. Marketing and appointment scheduling facilitated by computers yield economic rewards and increased productivity. General business software aids in the preparation of checks and some financial statements.
