Periodontal health is an important component to a patient’s overall oral health. In the comprehensive periodontal module, QSIDental Web has robust periodontal charting tools to help diagnose and treat patients. Among the available tools is voice-activated perio charting that enables periodontal exam findings to be entered using the voice rather than a keyboard or mouse. Voice entry decreases chances of cross-contamination and improves patient safety.
Once the Voice Activated Perio Charting tool has been set up and the user has been trained, the tool is ready to be used to add examination results. Voice commands can be used throughout the examination, including procedural, navigational, data entry and function selection commands.
