Dr. Todkar, M. (2018). In this review, the literature search was done by the online web search regarding
the topic. Initially, beginning the online literature search was conducted using different data source like
PubMed, Medline, EBSCOhost; and the articles published in the different journals was obtained. The
search engine such as Google also used to find articles using the keywords as Dental practice
management, Clinical practice, Dental Services, etc. Furthermore, the literature data consist of different
original articles, reviews, textbooks, etc. were documented. Any patient who first time come in the
dental clinic is the most important person for the dentist.

Schools were the places most often

used for educational
activities, as they represent a social
environment in which the
children are in a favorable age group
to receive knowledge,
acquire habits and strengthen pre-
learned preventative care
to help them to improve their health,
self-esteem, behavior
and life skills [72,73].
Another group that was highly
represented in oral health
education activities was the elderly.
This group has been
receiving special attention in recent
years because the
population of Brazil, as in other
countries, is aging. Data
from the Brazilian Ministry of Health
show that more than
3 million (15%) elderly Brazilians
need full upper and lower
dentures and that 4 million (23%)
need partial dentures in
one of the arches [74]. The need for
curative treatment in the
elderly, related mainly to edentulism,
tooth loss, abrasion/
erosion and periodontal disease,
remains a reality and,
therefore, must be prioritized.
In a much lower number of papers,
adolescents were also
studied in both school and
extracurricular environments.
Adolescents have unique attitudes
and characteristics, as
well as distinct needs, and
adolescence is often considered
a period of increased risk of dental
caries as a result of
incomplete plaque control and
decreased attention to
tooth brushing. An educational
proposal to reduce the
incidence of caries and periodontal
disease in this group
must take into consideration the need
to work with the
stimulation and reinforcement
components of oral health
implementation because these
components can be more easily
visualized

Odonto, R, (2014). “The study populations in the oral health educational literature.”, Schools were the

with the stimulation and reinforcement components of oral health implementation because these
components can be more easily visualized. Silveira Filho et al. showed that caries indices tend to
increase in adolescents. The lack of oral health education activities at middle schools, teenage truancy
and inadequate guidance of this group may contribute to an increase in caries during adolescence. The
authors highlighted the need to pursue new knowledge and to develop different practices targeting
adolescents, using new technology and health education methods. Pregnant women were also the
subjects of oral health education activities. During pregnancy, health education is an important strategy
to promote oral health, including oral health actions specified by the Women’s Healthcare Program
(Programa de Atenção à Saúde da Mulher), according to the current National Oral Health Policy (Política
Nacional de Saúde Bucal) Guidelines.

Computer technology has transformed the way the world does business, allowing us to work more
quickly, smarter, and efficiently than ever before. In the late 1960s, computers were first introduced into
the dentist office as an accounts receivable instrument. Based on the Electronic Dental Charting website,
it is software for the management of medical and dental offices that was implemented exclusively for
the Apple's OS 9 Operating System. The task of this software was to provide chairside clinical charting,
periodontal charting, and clinic record. This software included all of the necessary features for a dentist,
including a dental chart, tool pallet, and tooth inspector. The dental chart shows the tools that the
dentist can use to treat the patients. The tool pallet shows the tools that the dentist can use to treat the
patients. The tooth inspector is an area where the dentist can gather all of the dental information about
the patients in one place.

“Electronic Medical Record in Dentistry”. All data relating to dental care for one patient is stored in a
dental record, which might be paper or computerized. The dental record, among other things, depicts
the state of the patient's mouth, such as dental caries (tooth damage), dental disturbances in tooth
growth, disturbances in the root of the tooth, periodontal disease, and other diseases and anomalies of
the teeth. Dentures, dental implants, bridges, crowns, and other tooth restoration techniques can all be
shown as well. Electronic dental record within Medis.Net. Dental module is implemented so it can
functionally and visually to have small deviations from the traditional, printed dental records. This aims
to enable medical personnel the simpler transition from current mode to the use of electronic dental
records, with minimal changes to existing work processes. Thus, the graphical user interface
implemented on the pattern of printed dental board. It consists of two tabs (tab control).

An EMR system implementation would significantly reduce clinician workload and medical errors while
saving the US healthcare system major expense. Yet, compared to other developed nations, the US lags.
This article examines EMR system efforts, benefits, and barriers, as well as steps needed to move the US
closer to a nationwide EMR system. The analysis includes a blueprint for implementation of EMR,
industry comparisons to highlight the differences between successful and non-successful EMR ventures,
references to costs and benefit information, and identification of root causes. 'Poka-yokes' (avoid
(yokeru) mistakes (poka)) will be inserted to provide insight into how to systematically overcome
challenges. Implementation will require upfront costs including patient privacy that must be addressed
early in the development process. Government structure, incentives and mandates are required for
nationwide EMR system in the US.

ACE Dental remains a veteran in the dental practice software area, and with its lengthy set of features, it
is easy to see why. While it offers a downloadable software option, we focus on the cloud-based
software version. We like the upfront pricing, with a choice of three tiers of plans. The included direct
support via telephone is also a plus, although we wish that the hours were not limited to weekdays and
business hours, and that there were also more methods for support, such as chat and direct email,
although there is a support portal, and plenty of how-to videos. The inclusion of charting via an
odontogram, and digital signatures for documents are sure to please, but the time limit of some months
(depending on the plan level) for eReminders to get patients back is another area that could be
improved. With so many relevant features, it brings ACE Dental to the top of dental practice
management software to be considered for a dental practice.
