The
School of Dentistry and the Dental Hygiene Program has utilized the
Tablet PC for the past few years as a required technological adjunct
for our programs and students. The primary purpose for the utilization
of the academic/clinical software is for clinical chair side
applications.
Wireless capabilities in the clinic
enable students to access patient education websites, such as
www.dentalcare.com, at chair side. This allows them not only
to provide visual photos, but to also print materials for their
patients.
Below are a few highlights:
 Chair Side Access:
- Patient
demographic data
- Patient arrival notification
- Patient
appointment scheduling: performed within operatories
- Medication
websites such as www.RX.com .

- Explanations for health
related conditions (Google search)

Faculty have the
ability to enter and track student performance at chair side.
