A dental record is not read in paragraphs — it is read tooth by tooth. Doctavie opens on a full dental chart: 32 permanent teeth, 20 primary, five surfaces each. Click the tooth, click the affected surface, write your note on it. The rest of the practice follows: booking, prescriptions, imaging, payments.
You already write it all down: 16 to fill, 36 root-treated last year, 46 extracted in March. Writing it was never the problem — finding it a year later without re-reading six pages is. A chart shows it at a glance, and keeps the date of every act.
Two synchronised views: the arch from above, where every tooth splits into five markable surfaces, and the facial view, drawn tooth by tooth with roots and gingiva. FDI numbering by default — the one you trained on — with Universal 1-32 one click away.
Click a tooth and write. No diagnosis required first: a healthy tooth can carry a note, and that is often where you write what will matter at the next visit. Every note keeps its author and its date.
Every finding carries a state. Planned work draws dashed, completed work draws solid — the chart becomes the treatment plan with no double entry, and you can see what is outstanding before the patient sits down.
46 extracted on 12 March, bridge fitted on 8 April, the note written that day: one chronological column per tooth, newest first. It is the answer to “what did we actually do here?”
Caries, filling, post & core, crown, bridge abutment, pulpitis, necrosis, apical lesion, apicectomy, calculus, furcation involvement, recession, impacted tooth, cyst, veneer, whitening, diastema — thirty-nine entries filed under restorative, prosthetic, endodontic, surgical, periodontal, orthodontic and aesthetic.
Print it A4 landscape or download it as an image for the file, a colleague or the patient: both views, the legend, the list of acts and the notes, on one page. The rest of the practice — diary, prescriptions, panoramics, till — is already around it.
Submit your registration number and ID, and pick “Dentistry” as your specialty. Every document is reviewed by hand before activation.
Fees, weekly slots, visit reasons — check-up, scaling, restoration, extraction — and your prescription template. About twenty minutes, once.
The dental chart opens on the patient file and during the consultation. Click the tooth, the surface, the state; the note and the date land on their own.
Planned work stays visible from one session to the next, and each tooth's history fills itself in as you treat.
Start free, upgrade as you grow. Pay monthly, or save two months a year by paying annually. Patients always use Doctavie for free — they only pay per consultation.
All 20 primary teeth are chartable exactly like the permanent ones, with their own numbering (51-55, 61-65, 71-75, 81-85). Between six and twelve, the mixed view nests the two arches — the deciduous arch inside the permanent one — so a still-present 55 and an already-erupted 16 fit on the same chart.
“A dental chart is not a drawing: it is the index of the record. As long as a tooth's history lives in free prose, you have to re-read all of it to answer a question that takes three seconds on a chart.
FDI / ISO-3950 by default — 11 to 18, 21 to 28, 31 to 38, 41 to 48 — because that is what is taught in Algeria and France, and it is what gets stored in the record. Universal (1-32, A-T) is display only: toggle it in one click and nothing changes in the data.
Yours. The patient's right is the screen's left, as on a paper chart and as at the chair. That never changes, even when the interface is in Arabic and everything else flips right to left.
Yes — mesial, distal, buccal, lingual (palatal on the upper arch) and occlusal, or incisal on an anterior tooth. An occluso-mesial caries on 16 is marked on those two surfaces, and that is what the chart shows: the colour lands on the part of the tooth involved, not the whole tooth.
No, and we do not claim it does. The dental chart is a clinical tool: diagnosis, treatment plan, history. You can record an estimated fee per act to discuss a quote with the patient, but Doctavie does not issue reimbursement forms and does not do your accounting.
