MacPractice DDS 3.6 features restorative chart, enhanced dental imaging

LINCOLN, Nebraska--MacPractice, Inc., a Macintosh practice management and clinical application developer, has announced the release of MacPractice DDS 3.6.

The product is a Mac solution for dental practices with a new MacPractice Chart (restorative dental charting) and enhanced MacPractice DR (digital radiography and photo).

MacPractice Chart graphically displays preexisting conditions, treatment plans, and treatment performed with just a click. Another click flips the screen to display the patient ledger with charges and payments.

MacPractice is being used by health-care providers in 13 countries. MacPractice Chart supports US and International tooth numbering.

In version 3.6, MacPractice DR sports a new interface and uses an enhanced device driver developed by MacPractice for SuniRay digital sensors, which deliver high-image quality with diagnostic capabilities.

SuniRay's ergonomic design and rounded corners aim to ensure easy positioning and patient comfort. The design of its reinforced cable attachment and hardened outer casing makes SuniRay durable and reliable.

According to MacPractice DR users, the quality of digital x-rays acquired by from SuniRay CMOS sensors on the Mac are at least as good as those acquired on the PC.

MacPractice DR directly interfaces or bridges to digital panorama and cephalometric equipment. New bridging technology in MacPractice 3.6 works with PC applications in a virtual machine and also directly with a PC.

"At last there is a complete dental practice management and clinical solution for dentists who prefer to use a Mac, and MacPractice is proud to be the company to deliver it," stated Mark Hollis, MacPractice president.

Physicians, dentists, chiropractors and eye doctors are encouraged to view QuickTime demo movies of MacPractice after registering at MacPractice.
