Explaining oral health issues to patients is one of the key drivers in treatment plan acceptance. Now new chairside software guru is helping to make oral health education easy and interactive.

guru is much more than simply a generic educational tool; it enables practitioners to increase treatment plan acceptance by customising presentations through the incorporation of individual patient X-rays, intraoral and extraoral images. In addition, the patient explanation can be augmented by pausing the animation and annotating directly onto the screen via a tablet and stylus, or by recording an audio explanation that addresses the specific needs of the individual case. Presentations can then be printed, emailed or burnt to a DVD or memory stick for the patient to take away.

The guru library, which is constantly being updated and refined, currently contains more than 200 excellent quality 3D animations on a range of treatment options, including an extensive section on oral health.

In addition to its chairside usage, guru can also be employed in the patient waiting area. Playlists featuring oral hygiene tips and techniques as well as treatment options can be displayed on a screen providing an interesting and information backdrop for the practice.

guru provides an excellent, hi-tech experience for patients wholly familiar with visual media, enabling you to improve patient communication and increase uptake of treatment recommendations.
