CDA Meeting Wrap-Up
by Brian Benefield
We were happy that so many of you stopped by to see us at September’s CDA Meeting in San Francisco. 2009 has been a tremendous year in terms of Datacon software development, and it is exciting to demonstrate the latest features to our valued clients in person. If you weren’t able to attend and haven’t seen version 3.6 in action, soon you’ll be able to watch a video on our website (www.datacondental.com/support) that highlights the new features.
Coinciding with Datacon’s new clinical tools, there were an abundance of questions regarding adding workstations in the back office. With our ability to integrate with the digital x-ray system of your choice, combined with our technicians’ wealth of experience in operatory installations, Datacon can assist you from start to finish.
As always, we held a raffle at the Datacon booth, but this year’s prize was more valuable than ever: training! With so many new tools at your disposal, it made sense to offer free training to the winners. Congratulations to the following clients for winning two hours of free training via the Internet:
- Drs. Steigner and Ramos
- Dr. John Herschleb
- Dr. Justin Chapman
- Dr. Henry Kitajima
- Dr. Chris Thompson
- Dr. Jeffrey Gressard
- Dr. Ariane Terlet
We also held a raffle for non-Datacon clients who visited our booth. Congratulations to Dr. Jamie Sahouria of Rohnert Park who won a new iPod!

Pediatric Study Group
Mark your calendars. On October 29th, 2009, Datacon is holding the fourth in a series of seminars to demonstrate how your practice can become a paperless dental office!
This study group provides an excellent opportunity for our pediatric clients to analyze the tools your Datacon system provides, and allow you to make educated decisions in your endeavor to go paperless.
The morning and afternoon sessions include subjects such as scheduling, email and digital x-ray integration, referral tracking and communication, electronic consent forms, periodontal charting, treatment planning, electronic chart notes, and downloading data to an iPhone or BlackBerry.
