Patient education software is a priceless tool for dental professionals committed to providing their patients with outstanding care and promoting a well-rounded pa­tient experience. CAESY Enterprise 6.0, the latest version of server-based patient education software from Pat­terson Dental, contains over 280 multimedia presentations and 21 different topics to offer users the most comprehensive, up-to-date choice in patient education programs. In addition, CAESY Enterprise 6.0 seamlessly integrates with Patterson EagleSoft clinical and practice management software to max­imize efficiency of the practice.

Designed for use throughout the practice, CAESY En­terprise 6.0 reinforces treatment recommendations and creates patient interest in various services through educational pre­sentations and entertaining programming (Figure 1).

From Front Office to Operatory

CAESY Enterprise 6.0 can provide patient education throughout the dental office (Figure 2). For example, Smile Channel, the reception area program included with CAESY Enterprise 6.0, features a 2-hour video loop including 6 new and 14 updated presentation topics, as well as the return of Invisalign programming. Users also can customize the presentation playlist for specific patients in the waiting room. For instance, users may subtly promote the benefits of esthetic dentistry or reinforce the importance of good oral hygiene habits. In addition, the latest edition of Smile Channel features the original programs, Hayley and Science in Dentistry (see sidebar).

CAESY Enterprise 6.0 also contains 7 hours of multimedia presentations for use in the operatory. Users can play presentations chairside to present patients' diagnoses and treatment plans and ultimately in­crease case acceptance. Smooth con­­trols for enhanced navigation and bright, new graphics ensure users can easily locate presentations and communicate supporting information so patients can make in­formed decisions about treatment options.
