Until lately dental practices have been virtually left behind when it comes to sufficient software administration practices. Now one innovative company gives this industry a few interesting solutions in the way of software products through the new Dentrix developer network. This product has been adjusted to existing operating systems that allow outside developers to submit their own compatible applications to the software development and permit modification of the databases.

When launched in 1889, this was quite a new concept and unique in its composition. The software program was mainly designed to be a comprehensive and integrated part of the functions performed within dental offices and a means to combine all these activities. Additionally it was designed so as to allow for the integration of any future technology and automate office admin functions giving dentist more time to concentrate on actual dental tasks.

Sold to a company called Henry Schein Practice Solutions in the late 90s, the services and software consequently underwent developments; existing versions were upgraded and many new products were also released. Products grew from basic dental programs to include software for voice recognition, imaging, and training of staff via computer-based software, patient education and general management services. Every one of the programs was specifically designed for the enhancement and co-ordinating of dental office activities.

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 software applications will be available via the developers online store as downloadable apps; similar to apps currently on reputable app stores. Site upgrades additionally include the incorporation of randomly Improvements to the site include the passwords that are randomly generated password for added site security. When one considers that dental practices can customize this software and have complete access to industry vendors and training; as well as other types of related services, it seems to be a much needed part of a dental practice.

Though product pricing may vary; the chief factors that influence the prices of the apps are how robust the products are and the vendors. Developers working to enhance this software are both big companies with comprehensive solutions and small independent developers. These developers all offer varying apps that can be anything from a small one, which is not very feature rich, all the way to far more complicated large apps.

Apps offered will not only make running of dental practices flow easier by integrating the office systems, but will add security to personal information for both the patients and the dentists. Furthermore, when implemented the general efficiency and productivity of these practices will increase. Additionally, new equipment incorporation will also be seamless.

The Dentrix developer network is very appealing in that it allows outside contributions to be submitted in the form of apps. This inclusion of outside developer apps means that people with firsthand understanding of the industry needs are considered.
