Does it work during a periodontal exam?

You dictate measurement values while you examine. Tandela transcribes and structures them per tooth and per site. Your hands never have to leave the mouth.

Which measurements can I dictate?

Pocket depths, gingival margin, bleeding on probing, plaque and furcations. You dictate what's relevant for your exam.

Do I see the same codes as the dentist?

Tandela filters by clinician type. You only see the conditions and procedure codes that dental hygienists are authorised to use.

Can I pause during treatment?

Start and pause the recording with a single button press. Smooth during steps that require focus.

Is any extra equipment needed?

Tandela runs in the browser with a regular microphone. No headset, no installation.

For dental hygienists

Focus on the patient. Tandela handles the documentation.

As a dental hygienist you split your time between the patient and the screen. Perio status is entered manually, notes are written afterwards and codes are reviewed against rules you don't have time to read. Tandela handles the structuring by voice — the clinician reviews and approves every draft.

dental hygienists

Dental hygienists handle a large share of the documentation in dentistry. Perio status, clinical notes and coding. Often under time pressure between patients. Hands are busy and the screen is out of reach.

Perio status

Dictate perio status during the exam

Stop entering pocket depths manually, value by value. With Tandela you dictate directly during the exam. Pocket depths, gingival margin, bleeding, plaque and furcations. Tooth by tooth, site by site. The system is trained on Swedish dental terminology and handles common transcription variants. You can dictate several teeth at once. If something is unclear, Tandela asks the clinician instead of guessing.

Notes

Clinical-note drafts without evening work

Tandela listens to the patient meeting and creates a structured clinical-note draft. Start and pause the recording with a single button press during treatment steps. Perfect for hygiene work where your hands are busy. The right terminology is used immediately. The clinician reviews the draft before it's approved.

Coding

Codes adapted to your authorisations

Dental hygienists have different code authorisations than dentists. Tandela accounts for that and only shows conditions and procedure codes you're authorised to use. Per-code requirements are shown immediately. Points that may need to be reviewed are shown in a checklist. Tandela can suggest possible wording based on what the clinician has explicitly stated. Possible rule conflicts and frequency limits are shown for the clinician to review.
