The Electronics Dental Records

Bys: Monika, G., Vaishnavi, S., Manoj Kumar, G.

Electronic Dental Records (EDRs) represent a significant advancement in dental practice, transforming traditional patient record-keeping into a digital, structured, and easily accessible system. Unlike paper-based records, which are prone to miscommunication, storage challenges, and limited usability, EDRs provide a comprehensive, accurate, and secure platform for documenting patient care.EDRs capture essential clinical information, including medical and dental histories, periodontal charting, radiographs, diagnoses, treatment plans, consents, and follow-up details. Their structured format, often summarized through the SOAP approach-Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan-ensures consistency and enhances clinical decision-making. The adoption of EDRs has grown steadily since the 1980s, particularly in developed countries where digital technologies have become integral to healthcare delivery. Beyond record-keeping, EDRs support research, education, billing, inventory management, and quality improvement initiatives. Ultimately, EDRs are not just digital replacements for paper files but a powerful tool and integrates more with modern healthcare systems.
