New app for dental teams

1 min read Clinical governance
​​A new app, the Dental Companion, launched today by the Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme (SDCEP), delivers easy mobile access to SDCEP’s evidence-based guidance.

The app which is also available as a web-based resource for access from any computer joins the popular Dental Prescribing app to support improvements in patient care.

The Dental Companion presents four diverse guidance ‘toolkits’ based on the following SDCEP publications:

· Prevention and Treatment of Periodontal Diseases in Primary Care

· Management of Dental Patients Taking Anticoagulants or Antiplatelet Drugs

· Oral Health Management of Patients at Risk of Medication-related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw

· Prevention and Management of Dental Caries in Children

Each toolkit includes the key recommendations from the full published guidance, with supporting tools such as flowcharts and links to patient information.
