CTP (Clinical Treatment Protocol Software) offers the first simple solution to diagnosing oral lesions
Dentrix Dental Systems, Inc. in partnership with Interactive Diagnostic Imaging announced the release of CTP, (Clinical Treatment Protocol), the first software of its kind that allows dentists and staff to easily identify and determine optimal treatment for oral lesions. CTP was designed to assist dentists and dental hygienists with their clinical decision making on common oral lesions and problems unrelated to caries and periodontal disease.
“After lecturing dentists and teaching students for more than 20 years in the dental profession, I’ve found that practitioners want something simple to help them with the diagnosis, treatment and management of oral lesions”, said Dr. Dale Miles, BA, DDS, MS, FRCD of Interactive Diagnostic Imaging. “The Clinical Treatment Protocol (CTP) oral lesion application was designed to fulfill this need.”
CTP’s content provides information on commonly occurring oral lesions such as herpes labialis, aphthous ulcers, lichen planus and other oral lesions that dentists, although trained to recognize, feel less confident in managing. Most of these lesions require medical management with drugs the dentist is less comfortable in prescribing. CTP will provide background information on these common conditions including clinical appearance, clinical signs and symptoms, differential diagnosis, and pharmacotherapy or management protocols. The program assists the dental personnel to describe the problem completely.
CTP allows you to enter in information about a particular lesion in question and then compiles a list of possible culprits. Compare images side-by-side for more effective diagnosis. After establishing what the lesion is you can offer an effective treatment plan and get recommendations from CTP for prescription medications. CTP also provides “Second Opinion and Referral” filters allowing you to consult with other practitioners for their opinion or refer the lesion problem to another practitioner.
Michael Wilkinson, Dentrix Product Line Manager of Dentrix Dental Systems states, “CTP is an affordable, easy-to-use application that every dentist needs to have in their practice. The software takes all the guess work out of diagnosing oral lesions.”
