Hardware Recommendations for Dental Information Systems
Computer hardware requirements for dental offices can vary widely due to the large array of high-tech devices available. Recommendations are divided into two categories: A. Dental offices where only patient management software, accounting, spreadsheet and/or word processing software is used; B. Dental offices where high-tech products such as digital x-ray, computer-based intraoral video imaging (intraoral cameras) and/or cosmetic imaging are used.These recommendations are designed to promote standard computer hardware and devices as opposed to proprietary, closed systems, which will most likely increase cost of ownership over time.
