What pain have you had with Dentrix? Did it drill a hole in the users
heads? The interface looks rather nice and easy to use, also the third
party software for the xray machine works wonders, which works very well
with dentrix. The only part I dislike about dentrix is the restriction
for ease of use is demolished if the patient information has not been
entered by the receptionist. When there were dental assistants trying to
chart someones mouth, they were freaking out when right click, chart
didn't work. Tsume to the rescue, aka. Wonder Boy! :D
