A revolutionary way to view and organise patient images based on anatomical or tiled modality-specific layouts. Easily navigate through the images in a stack by using the film strip navigator.

Other enhancements and fixes

This update also includes enhancements to the AI Findings menu for improved navigation, a revamped Brightness/Contrast dialog, and several bug fixes for smoother functionality and reliability.

Why You'll Love SuperFMX

  • Efficiency: Quickly find the images you need using intuitive new layouts and filters.
  • Flexibility: Switch seamlessly between views, layouts, and image details.
  • Precision: View images in anatomical layouts, helping you diagnose with confidence and educate patients with ease.

Your latest chart updates 🦷🚀

Kevin avatar
Shared by Kevin • October 31, 2024

We’re excited to announce some updates to the Dentally chart and introduce the new socket selection feature for users with Tooth status and our Root Charting early adoption users.

These chart updates are rolling out now, so get ready to enhance your entire charting experience 🚀

The Dentally odontogram chart has had an update!

We have made some strides in enhancing the logic behind your chart screen to enhance your user experience. Based on valuable feedback from you, our users, we've made significant changes to how missing teeth are displayed.

The odontogram view will now* only show teeth where a tooth is present, meaning icons for missing teeth no longer appear on both the base and treatment planning lines. It’s important to note that you can still chart whole tooth treatments, such as implants, bridges, or dentures, over gaps where no tooth is present.

This change aims to reduce confusion and prevent treatments from being accidentally added to the wrong teeth, ensuring a smoother and more accurate charting experience.

Read more about the updated odontogram view over on the Help Centre here.

🚨 Important: *This feature is currently (as of July 2024) in the early adoption phase and is only available to sites using the Tooth Status backfill.

Introducing Socket Selection for Root users 🦷

Socket selection is here for root users! Simplify your base charting process with the new socket selection drop down list, This is particularly useful when initially base charting a patient’s permanent dentition or updating their status on subsequent visits.

How to Use Socket Selection:

  • Navigate to the desired patient’s chart and ensure Root View is enabled.
  • Hover over a root to see it become selectable, with a shaded area indicating the socket.
  • Right-click on this area to access a drop-down list of available tooth statuses.
  • Select the required tooth status, and the tooth icon on the graphical chart will update accordingly.

This feature can be used alongside normal base charting or even while treatment planning, streamlining your workflow and improving accuracy.

Learn more about using socket selection in our handy Help Centre guide here.

🚨 Important: Socket selection is only available to users with Root View enabled.

Want to get involved and be one of our early adopters? Get in touch with Ellie Bot and the support team via Live Chat in Dentally to register your interest.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to roll out these updates!

Root charting is coming 🦷🚀

Kevin avatar
Shared by Kevin • October 31, 2024

We are excited to unveil root charting*, designed to enhance your practice’s charting efficiency and accuracy. Here’s how you can get started and make the most of this powerful tool.

*This will slowly be released across all sites with tooth status over the coming week.

Benefits of root charting

Comprehensive patient records: Keep detailed records of all treatments, ensuring no information is missed ever again!

Enhanced visibility: Avoid the risk of root treatments being invisible, ensuring complete transparency even with the roots minimised from view.

Flexible and customisable: Tailor your chart view to your needs. Using the ‘Chart settings’ you can switch between views easily for a flexible charting experience.

Improved clinical efficiency: Quickly access detailed tooth histories and current statuses by hovering over a specific tooth/root.

Using the Root Chart

How to turn on the new Root View

  • Navigate to a patient’s chart.
  • Click the ⚙️ ‘Chart Settings’ icon.
  • Scroll down and toggle on ‘Root view’. You MUST be using the condensed chart view to see this option.
  • Once you exit this menu you will see the roots are now showing on the graphical chart.

Read our detailed guide for further info on turning on the new root view.

Customising treatment items

For items to be chartable on the root they must be set up accordingly. Follow our easy-to-use step by step guide here to set up your items for roots.

Customise your chart view

You can use the ⚙️ ’Chart settings’ to adjust the visibility settings to switch between detailed and condensed views, depending on your preferences.

This accessible button makes it quick and easy to switch your view even during surgery for the optimal charting experience.

We cannot wait for you to give the new root charting in Dentally a go. For more details on utilising this feature, take a read of our dedicated articles over on the help centre.

This is rolling out to all sites already using tooth status over the coming week, if you don't already use tooth status and want to give roots a go, get in touch with Ellie Bot and the support team via Live Chat today to register your interest!

A smarter way to save your treatments!

Kevin avatar
Shared by Kevin • October 22, 2024

We have listened to your feedback and can now share some exciting changes to transform how you create and manage clinical notes.

This update ensures that clinical notes are never missed, lost or overwritten, even when different team members are working on the patient's plan at the same time.

We’ve addressed two key scenarios to help make your charting experience as seamless and stress-free as possible:

  • Scenario 1: If multiple users are simultaneously editing different sections of a single treatment item – for example if one is editing the price, while another is editing the notes on a different device – all updates will be automatically merged upon saving, and users will be notified when the treatment is refreshed. 🚀
  • Scenario 2: If multiple users are editing the same part of a treatment item from different devices – for example, if both users are editing the item’s clinical notes simultaneously – Dentally will alert you to the potential conflict and prevent accidental overwrites, ensuring no information is lost.

Head over to our help guide here for more information on both scenarios and to familiarise yourself with your new clinical notes workflow.

This update reinforces Dentally's commitment to improving efficiency and safeguarding patient data. With these enhancements, you can work confidently knowing your clinical notes are safe and sound.

Your latest treatment plan template update 🚀

Kevin avatar
Shared by Kevin • October 21, 2024

We introduced ‘Personal’ treatment plan templates alongside ‘Shared’ ones, to help you streamline your own individual charting process and they just got even better!

When creating and using treatment plan templates, ‘Personal’ templates will now retain additional details such as clinical notes and any custom price and duration settings. This update is all about giving you more customisation when creating templates for a smoother surgery experience.

What is the difference between ‘Shared’ and ‘Personal’ templates

Shared templates

When saving a treatment plan template as ‘Shared’, it will behave as templates always have – visible to all users and applying the default treatment settings like pricing, duration, and notes.

When you use a shared treatment plan template, the items are arranged according to their original setup, perfect for standardised procedures across multiple users and locations.

Personal templates

Here’s where it gets interesting! ‘Personal’ templates are individual to each user, and they now allow you to save your customised tweaks! 🎉

When saving a ‘Personal’ template, Dentally will now retain:

  • Custom pricing & duration: If you charge different rates or need more time for specific treatments, these are now saved.
  • Clinical notes: Any treatment-specific notes can be saved directly to the treatment template.
  • Appointment details: Whether it’s scheduling details or specific booking requirements, those are saved too!

Now, every time you apply your ‘Personal’ template, it will be tailored to your exact needs — no more need for manual adjustments!

Remember, you can even apply multiple templates to a single treatment plan. Start with one template, and if the plan evolves, just layer on another! This makes it even easier for you to create comprehensive, efficient treatment plans.
