We had a trainer come to the office Wednesday to help us learn to use the new treatment planning software called Xcpt, (pronounced accept). The developer is a periodontist from Florida. He has thought of some nice features. I need to work with it some more to determine if I really like it. The web page is here.

I think some of the features are a bit awkward to use and it is mostly oriented to surgery and implants. You can download a free trial off the web site and try it yourself. Also to be really effective it needs to integrate with practice management software and digital image management including radiography. I also think the fee is hard to justify. In fact the fee is hard to find, I couldn’t find it anywhere on the web site but I believe it is about $6,000.
