Hands-Free Voice Perio Charting Across a 32-Office Dental Group
Let's Connect
Problem
Charting interrupts every exam
A hygiene-focused dental group with 32 offices required hygienists to pause mid-exam, deglove and type six pocket-depth readings per tooth into the perio chart — or pull an assistant in to scribe. Exams routinely overran their slots, six-point charts were frequently left incomplete, and periodontal findings went under-documented across the group.
Solution
Dictate while you probe
We built a hands-free voice charting assistant on a commercial medical speech-recognition engine, adding a dental vocabulary layer tuned to perio terminology and operatory noise. Hygienists dictate measurements as they probe, hear an instant read-back confirmation, and the readings write straight into the group's practice-management perio chart in real time.
Measurable Impact
What changed after launch
Perio charting time per hygiene exam cut from an average 9 minutes to under 4 minutes
Complete six-point perio charts recorded on 87% of hygiene exams, up from 61% before rollout
Assistant scribing eliminated in roughly 70% of hygiene exams, freeing assistants for chairside duties
On-time hygiene appointment completion improved from 68% to 84% across all 32 offices
