Open Dental

Thanks for the info!

nchr

Thank you Jordan for the reply.

Since the practice is outside of the US, there is no issue with insurance claims as you can imagine.

If we ask for your help can you let me know of the cost, etc?

Thanks again

nchr

Dear all, When I started my practice, having a lot of time in my hands, using the instructions on the open dental website, I compiled the software and I have been using it since! That was version 4.4 if I remember correctly. At home I was playing with open dental and reached version 11.x Since I did...

nchr

That's what I also thought Jordan. The problem is still there even with the USB connection. I am not able to figure it out. If I have a revelation I will let you guys know

nchr

I finally managed to create a default profile from control panel>scanners and cameras, by connecting the HP officejet via USB. I cannot figure out why it is not working via ethernet. The problem still persists. Even with a default scanning profile set in the Windows control panel, when I try to scan...

nchr

I went to the scanners and cameras option in the control panel, but there seems to be a problem with the hp software. Every time I try to create a default profile it stops working. I have already reinstalled the drivers, but there seems to be a conflict somewhere. Thanks for the reply, If I finally ...

nchr

I am not sure if it's an Open Dental issue or the way OD communicates with the HP scanning interface. The problem is as follows. Before updating I would select the HP Twain driver and the hp scanning interface was starting. I could select the settings I would like to use (eg. Black and white) and th...

nchr

Thanks for the reply Jorge. Probably I was not clear with my problem. I can also edit everything before the scan is saved. The problem is I cannot set a default universal setting in order not to have to do that every time. I want to make everything as simple as possible for the reception staff, to m...

nchr

Dear all, I have recently updated to 11.1, and today I noticed that if I select to scan a document in the images module it does not use the default setting that were set in the HP application, and it is scanning in color making the saved file very large. I would like to scan in black and white using...

nchr

Thanks for the reply. I was aware of the appointment views option, but the problem is that you should manually press F1, F2, F whatever in order to bring them back, and this is not mentioned anywhere. I think this is the first time that happened after updating to a new version. It sorts of resets it...

nchr

After a loooot of fiddling around I fixed the problem. It is so simple that I was laughing after that. For some peculiar reason I had to press F1 (select all) in appointment module and they reappeared like magic. Although now it is in small circles. I think aesthetically I preferred the small box, b...

nchr

Dear all, I recently updated OD to 11.1 from version 7 (everything compiled normally and dlls transferred). Everything is working fine except the confirmation color in the appointment module. I am talking about the small box that was in the upper right corner of every patient "box" that you could us...

nchr

Dear all, I would like to know if there is a way to see how much a patient has already paid. At the account module there is no total for charges/ credit/ balance. Maybe a feature for a future update Jordan (if of course it does not already exist and I just could not find it :) Thanks in advance Nico...

nchr

Thanks Jordan for the immediate response. Unfortunately I am not a programmer so I will have to wait until you implement this feature in a future update. As far as I understood it is also not possible to export the data of the statement in MS Word for example to create there a custom invoice. Correc...

nchr

Dear all, I would like to ask if it is possible to create a letter merge or sheet including the data from the account module. I would like to have an invoice which is more or less custom made to comply with the regulations in Cyprus. I would need to have the description of the treatment including th...

nchr

Found the solution. I first disabled UAC on both computers and it worked like a charm. I then got the idea to check the properties of od executable file and apparently I had the run as administrator checkbox checked (I had always enabled it from previous versions of OD). When I unchecked the box, ev...

nchr

Thanks for the quick replies...

The path look like this: \\LEFKO-PC\OpenDentImages

I ever tried using the ip of the computer with the database, but I get the same problem.

I am trying now the different solutions you proposed and I will come back with the results.

Thanks

nchr

Dear OD team, I have recently set up my practice where the database of OD is on one central computer and every computer that is connected to the network can use the same database. The only problem we are having is that every time the computers start (not the central of course) and starting OD we com...

nchr

Thanks Jordan,

That did the trick. It seemed that some of the dlls were missing. How could this have happened? Or is it just random behaviour?

Thanks again

Nicos Christodoulides

nchr

Thanks Jordan for the quick reply.

I tried setting it as the startup project but I still get the same error.

Is there a way to skip that line of code (since it is something we never use in the practice anyway)?

Thanks again

Nicos Christodoulides

nchr

Dear Jordan, I have recently downloaded the source code of OD v.5.7 using the tortoise SVN interface, and when I try to run the solution via MS Visual C# 2008, I get the following error. System.IO.FileNotFoundException was unhandled Message="The specified module could not be found. (Exception from H...

nchr

Thanks Jordan,

At least I know now that at the moment this is not possible. When it becomes available I guess you will let us know.

Thanks again

Nicos Christodoulides

nchr

Thanks for the reply. I do not think that the problem is with the Dimaxis software. There is an English and a Greek version of the dimaxis software installed and in both versions when I type the patient's name in the software itself using the Greek alphabet I have no problems whatsoever. The problem...

nchr

Dear OD community, I am a happy user of the OD software and recently with the addition of a Planmeca Pro-One panoramic unit in my practice I have made a bridge so that OD and Dimaxis software would communicate. Everything works just great for my English patients (or Latin alphabet names), but for my...

nchr

Thanks I'll have a look. Another great application is Second Copy, although not free.

nchr

That is understandable...

When you do get to update the backup function, it will be a welcome addition.

Keep up the great work.

Nicos Christodoulides

nchr

Dear all, I was wondering whether it could be possible to backup (with the backup function of OD) also the Letters and Export folder that are available, instead of having to copy them manually. Backup at the moment copies the database and Images folder, or am I doing something wrong? OD Version 5.4....

nchr

Thanks for the reply Jordan. I was just being curious about the charting since I am specializing in periodontology. Something to look forward in the future then.

nchr

Dear all, I read in the website that you are planning to have a 3D version of the periodontal chart available in the future. Do you have an idea when this will be available? It would be great for patient education/ explanation purposes I would also like to ask if there is a way (or an idea for the f...

nchr

Same problem with Vista ultimate 32bit.

Nicos Christodoulides

nchr

Dear all, I recently updated to 5.4.3 version of Open Dental. I remember during previous versions that you could immediately add the referral dentist of the patient when adding a new patient, or editing the patient information at a later time. Using the new version you can add the referral dentist a...

nchr

Apologies for the quick reposting, but I another question came to me. The last few times I used tortoise to download a newer revision of the software the database was updated automatically. This has changed or it was the same all the time and I was just lucky that no problems surfaced? How can you c...

nchr

Thanks a lot for the reply. I am just fooling around at home with that version. I did not notice that it is not suitable for a live setting. That was a close call. Beta version is not available for the general public, as far as I understood. Well it was worth asking, since I learned a potentially da...

nchr

OD reports that I have version 5.4.0.0, but I will download it again just to make sure that nothing went wrong with the compilation. Tortoise SVN is the right way to download it right? I cannot seem to find it anywhere else on your site.

Love the program by the way.

nchr

Can you please explain how to enable/make popup notes and how to use them? I am trying to figure it out (and I am sure it is extremely obvious), but to no avail.

Thanks a lot

nchr

Thanks Jordan. This could be a way to do it. I know it is not easy to include every possible dental treatment, but I had a patient with all of these and none was available.

nchr

Another good point

nchr

Yes but what about pre-existing treatments, or treatment procedures you want to include (as I mentioned above apicectomy, root resection, root separation, porcelain veneers).

Thanks

nchr

Simple and efficient. Thanks... Why did I not think about that?

nchr

Thanks again for a wonderful software. Is there a possibility to add in a patient's medical history some information regarding the treating medical doctor if a specific condition exists? For example if a patient is under regular recalls from a medical doctor and we would like to have his contact det...

nchr

I have been using Open Dental for a few months, making me not an expert, but it is a great program and amazingly easy to learn. I have a question (or suggestion if this is not already available) about specific procedures. I would like to know if there is a possibility to add an apicectomy or a root ...
