Avidont is made available on an as-is basis. User assumes ALL liability. That being said, the system is being made available as a beta-test. It may be used with mobile devices, providing voice command (as well as manual) data entry along with charting and treatment plan suggestions.
There are two modes of operation, 'guest' and 'logged in' mode.
If you are not logged in (guest mode), you may enter information and use all the functionality, including creation of a PDF Chart. If you are not logged in, no information can be saved except for the PDF Chart. If you login, you will land on your 'Default' file. If you logout, an empty file (---) will be loaded.
If you are logged in (registration requires email address), you may save your work and reload it at a later time. New (uniquely named) files may be created. Files must be named, but SHOULD NOT identify a patient or other individual. Avidont cannot be responsible for protection of patient identifying information.
If you are using the Chrome browser, voice functionality exists. Please view the Voice Commands (Voice Dropdown).
Treatment Plans which are generated automatically should not be relied upon. Avidont will not be responsible for treatment decisions based upon any information rendered by or associated with the Avidont website or system.
This is a demonstration application for computer generated treatment planning. It was written by a practicing dentist, David L Botsko, located in Davenport, IA. It was designed as an add-on for a comprehensive patient management system for the dental office.
This system allows entered exam findings to create a suggested treatment plan. It is important to emphasize that the suggested treatment plan should not be relied upon, but used as a tool to consider aspects of a human clinically developed treatment plan. This system is provided as-is with the user assuming all risks including security

Set Random Case Findings |
Mouse over treatment row or say "tooth number whatever (ex. tooth number 2) to enter treatment decisions. Select treatments on a tooth by tooth basis. Where caries is noted, assume it has destroyed an average amount of the surface.
Enter treatments which could include Extractions, Perio (On the specific tooth), Restorations, Root Canal Treatment, Post Cores, Crowns, Bridges and Implants. Note that credit will be given for recommending Extraction even if the system deems the Extraction as Optional. Also note that Upper Anteriors and Lower Canines have a higher strategic value. If there are missing teeth, you may enter treatments such as Bridges (FPDs), Implants, or Removable Partial Dentures (RPDs). Use the 'Pontic' button to indicate a bridge. Use the 'Crown' button to indicate retainers. Long span (greater than 3 units) bridges are not recommended in this system.
Decisions are triggered by a set of findings and circumstances that cause certain treatments to be recommended. Below you will find some guidance as to what findings to look for in determining a certain treatment.
The most complicated decision may be when to recommend a Denture. Depending upon the degree of Periodontal Disease, Mobility, Caries and Missing Teeth, a decision may be made to go to a Complete Denture. If Complete Denture is selected and the system determines that a Complete Denture is recommended, scoring increases. Depending upon circumstances, the system may recommend a Removable Partial Denture, while at the same time allowing a Complete Denture. In this case, points are given for either answer.
Another controversial scenario is when to recommend a crown. If endo is NOT planned and there are more than (3) involved surfaces (caries and/or existing restorations), the system will recommend a crown. If endo IS planned, the system recommends crowns (after endo) when there are (3) or more caries/restored surfaces (including access). Access surfaces are 'O' for Posteriors and 'L' for Anteriors. Please note if a crown already exists, the system recommends a new crown following endo with a new underlying build-up restoration.
Third molars are not considered strategic and the system recommends Extraction when certain pathological findings are present (moderate perio disease, mobility, caries). Optional Extractions are generally counted as correct in Posteriors and Lower Incisors where more than (3) surfaces are involved and caries is present. The most strategic teeth are Maxillary Anteriors and Mandibular Canines. To avoid Lower Complete Dentures, Mandibular Canines should be preserved for anchoring future Removable Partial Dentures. Optional Extractions are counted as correct in these strategic teeth when MORE than (4) surfaces are involved.
If PAIN and restorable caries is present the system will recommend Endo (Endo involvement would be highly likely). If PAIN is present with restorations, but no caries, the system will NOT recommend treatment (Endo will not be recommended due increased chances of other causes). If PAIN is present with a Post or Implant, Extraction will be a correct answer. However, Bridge Pontics and Implants (New) will be correct within certain conditions.
The Defective stripe generally indicates a Defective Restoration, Crown, Implant or Post Core. If a Defective stripe appears over Endo treatment, the Defective will only apply to the Restoration. If there is a Restoration present and there is a Defective stripe, assume the Endo is NOT defective and the restoration IS Defective.
