Dental InformaticsDental informatics professionals oversee information systems utilized in dental practices and develop technology to improve dental care. Their duties include:

Developing theoretical models – designed to improve dental research. For example, researchers seeking cures for oral cancers need to be able to quickly access information about cancer growth, current medical procedures, and symptoms. Research models can also be used to test hypotheses and treat disease.

Developing and setting up computer applications – that make patient information and medical records more accessible for dentists. Dental informatics specialists are currently working to develop a centralized database for all dental records. This will make it easier for dentists to review and compare dental records since nearly all dentists continue to utilize paper charts.

Design and install information systems – that are easy for dentists, dental hygienists, and administrative assistants to use.

Analyze dental information systems – to ensure they function properly and are useful resources, improve patient care, and eliminate costs.

Dental informatics is relatively new, but it's already improving patient care, education and training, and dental research. Dental informatics specialists are currently working to develop new dental practitioner training software, electronic dental records databases, digitalized dental charting technology, and dental office management information systems.

Dental x-rays are a type of image of the teeth and mouth. X-rays are a form of high energy electromagnetic radiation. X-rays can penetrate the body to form an image on film. Structures that are dense (such as silver fillings or metal restoration) will block most of the light energy from the x-ray.

Innovation:

An x-ray app that scans your entire mouth to look for complications in your teeth. Its easier to use because its small and its portable. It’s less time consuming.
