WestDental version 2.1.2
WestDental is a full Dental suite, it contains patient records, which includes treatment notes, medical history, patient details, charting, and treatment plan. There is a recall facility to ensure regular visits, and an appointment book. The program can be used over a network, with one computer in the office or reception as a server holding the database files, and the other as a workstation in the surgery. The program is not designed for large multi-surgery practices, it was really written to use in my surgery so is really for a single dentist practice. The networking works fine in the configuration outlined.
Version 2.1.2 has had a few things added, full periodontal charting is now available, a more comprehensive appointment book overview, and all sections are now printable to hard copy (A4 paper).
The help notes are out of date but are in the process of being updated. When they are completed they will be available as a separate download as well as included in the program setup, they are in the form of HTML and can be read in your browser.
The program is freeware so there are no restrictions on use, except the program cannot be used for commercial gain. The program is licensed under the GPL license. Version 2.1.2 was released on 28/12/07. The source code opens in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.
