Dental charting software

Clinical and periodontal charting are near-universal in practice management systems — the difference is speed, and whether voice input is offered.

Charting is where clinicians spend their time, so small workflow differences compound. Native perio charting is close to universal; voice-driven perio charting is not, and it is a genuine time-saver for hygienists. If you are learning charting rather than buying it, our guide to dental charting symbols covers the notation itself.
