Dentists can save time and fight back against periodontitis – one of the most widespread oral health complications in the world but seldom straightforward to assess for individual cases – with the help of PROPACS from PRO Diagnostics UK.

An innovative, cloud-based storage system for patient image files, PROPACS allows professionals to send radiographs to a team of radiology specialists for expert reporting.

Their special PerioGuide report is particularly useful as it not only indicates the severity of periodontal disease through an easy-to-understand, traffic-light-colour system, but it also gives detailed information on the case to help aid the formulation of an effective care plan.

The PerioGuide report reveals the amount of bone loss at each site of periodontal infection thus helping professionals to establish that the disease is present and also see how badly the patient is afflicted.

This saves dentists having to take these measurements themselves and the information can be sent straight to the hygienist and the periodontist, streamlining the whole process and providing better diagnostic confidence.

Dentists can also rest assured that their file storage system has absolute security. Encrypted with a state-of-the-art blend of safeguarding software, the PROPACS system is also GDPR compliant and easy to use.

Furthermore, PROPACS helps to support dental professionals who use the system with continued education.

Members receive access to regular, complementary CPD courses that will help them keep up to date with the latest research and clinical education. Radiology specialists who have extensive knowledge in the field author each of the webinars and seminars, and these can be taken at any time so that users can benefit from training on their own terms.
