What's New in Dentrix

New features to help your team be more productive and more profitable.

The newest version of Dentrix includes these features:

  • Month End Updates
  • Protect Totals Records with Database Transaction
  • Task Scheduler
  • Appointment Book: Open a day that is usually closed
  • Health History Permissions
  • Improved Update Manager User Interface

Month End Updates

The Month End dialog box was added to the Reports and Tasks Scheduler dialog box, so you can run Month End with a single mouse click.


Protect Totals Records with Database Transaction

Updates to the totals records are less likely to be interrupted when running month-end and other processes, and the need to run the recalculation utility is reduced or eliminated.


Task Scheduler

We’ve redesigned the task scheduler with easier-to-access buttons, warnings and success icons, and better ability to control the time that tasks will run.


Appointment Book: Open a day that is usually closed

You can now use the Open Office option in the Schedule Calendar to open your practice on a day that it is usually closed.


Health History Permissions

The permissions for Health History were modified. Use these new password permissions to better control who on your staff can make changes to your patients’ health histories.

The new permissions are as follows:

  • Health History Patient, Add – Add Health History items to patients, such as medications, allergies, medical conditions, and prescriptions.
  • Health History Patient, Edit – Edit a patient’s Health History items, including adding notes to alerts.
  • Health History Patient, Delete – Delete a patient’s Health History items.
  • Health History Setup, Add – Add Health History items in the Health History Setup dialog box.
  • Health History Setup, Edit – Edit Health History items in the Health History Setup dialog box.
  • Health History Setup, Delete – Delete Health History items in the Health History Setup dialog box.
  • Health History Setup, Open – Open the Health History Setup dialog box.
  • Health History, Open – Open Health History.

Note: If your staff members currently have permissions to the previous Health History Add/Edit permissions, the new permissions are granted to them automatically during the upgrade.


Improved Update Manager User Interface

Notifications now appear in the lower right corner of your screen when an update is available.

You can now set an option to download and install updates automatically to all computers connected to the Dentrix database.

A new Log Center provides you with quick access to all log files.
