Learn More About The Dentrix Developer Network

By Stacey Massey


Until recently dental practices had been pretty much left behind when it came to adequate software management practices. Now an innovative company offers this industry an interesting solution in the form of software services through the Dentrix developer network. This service is being changed into an operating system that will allow third party developers to develop or write applications compatible with the software and allow modification of databases.

When originally launched back in the late 80s, it was the first of its kind and designed to work with Ms Windows operating systems. Basically, it was to become an integrated, comprehensive system that would take all the functions within a dental practice and combine them. It also included the ability to integrate any future technology; it was mostly designed as a means of automating as many dental office functions as possible, giving dentists the opportunity to rather focus on their daily dentistry tasks.

Since the company was sold to Henry Schein Practice Solutions in 1997, the software subsequently underwent further developments and new products were released; the original software versions were also upgraded. Products grew to include dental office programs for management services; patient education, imaging and voice recognition as well as computer centred training software. All of these software programs were designed to specifically work together to enhance the full activities of the dental office.

Enterprise versions of this software can support several workstations and integrate numerous office locations as well. Through the use of software bridges the imaging software can integrate several different "dental imaging" packages. These images and all documents are stored in proprietary formats.

These integrated applications will soon be available directly from the online store of the developer which will be made available as downloadable apps; similar to what one will find in other well known app stores. Improvements to the site include the randomly generated password system for added site security. Being able to customize ones practice and have full access to all training, vendor books and other services not integrated make this software a must have for any dental practice.

Product pricing can vary due to the vendor and the robustness of the offered apps. Developers teamed with the company are both big firms with comprehensive software packages and independent developers. These developers in general offer varying applications that may be small features or much larger apps.

Not only will these apps make the day-to-day running of ones dental practice flow easier through the integration of the practices office systems but will give added security to both patients and dentists alike. Furthermore, once implemented the overall productivity and efficiency of the practice will increase. Additionally, incorporating new equipment will also become seamless.

What makes the Dentrix developer network more appealing is the fact that dentists can also submit programs. This inclusion of suggestions from within the industry means the system will cater to its specific needs. Any interested persons can go directly to the online site and gather the relevant information
