Title:DBEndo: a web-based endodontic case management tool
Creators Name:Preissner, S., Kostka, E., Mokross, M., Kersten, N.V., Blunck, U. and Preissner, R.
Abstract:BACKGROUND: The success of endodontic treatment depends-among many other factors-on good documentation. Paper-based records are often difficult to read or incomplete and commercially available tools focus on billing. An electronic record captures the state of treatment at all times. Databases are a common tool in everyday life. RESULTS: Here, we present a database created for the Charite-Universitatsmedizin Berlin, Germany. Through consistent digital documentation, data analytics of patients, root canal anatomies, instrumentation techniques, efficacy of chemical disinfection, root filling techniques, and corresponding recall success rates, which needed extensive research before, are now easy to perform. Tables and even graphics and data analystics are only one click away and can be exported to other programs. CONCLUSIONS: DBEndo is a database to store and visualise internally, as well as to share endodontic cases online. For academic use we provide the database including all forms and some anonymous data for free at: http://dbendo.charite.de . Through easy import and export of the data, the system is open and flexible.
