In real practice, when a doctor performs endodontics or complex restoration, every detail affects the financial result. Techcards let you pre-define the required anesthetics, adhesives, and tools for each procedure. When a patient follows a long multi-stage treatment treatment plan, you clearly see actual costs at every stage. This eliminates chaos in purchasing, as every placed filling automatically reduces composite stock, ensuring the right material is always ready for the next booking.

🚫

Patients drop out of treatment plans

Dental treatment often requires multiple visits. Without reminders, patients postpone the next appointment, their condition worsens — and they switch providers.

Front desk is overwhelmed with calls

Scheduling, rescheduling, confirmations, inquiries — the receptionist spends all day on the phone instead of greeting patients and coordinating the practice.

Margin control for complex cases: from endodontics to implant placement

In dentistry, profit often slips away due to small details that are hard to track manually. Every root canal treatment requires specific files, irrigation solutions, and filling materials. Without automated tracking, doctors often forget to log every milliliter of anesthesia or each sterile tip. This leads to stock levels not matching reality, and financial reports showing a distorted picture of clinic profitability.

When a multi-stage treatment plan is implemented, for example in orthodontics with braces or aligners, material consumption varies significantly at each stage. Techcards allow assigning specific consumption norms to each visit type within the plan. This ensures that when a patient returns for adjustments, the system knows exactly what was used — from ligatures to specialized waxes, maintaining stock transparency without distracting medical staff with paperwork.

This automation also solves hidden costs in prevention. When a patient receives a recall reminder and comes for a scheduled visit, the clinic must be confident all consumables are available. Automatic write-offs based on techcards provide real-time purchasing data. This prevents urgent buys at retail prices, directly impacting average check margin.

Ultimately, switching from manual logs to techcard-based write-offs turns a dental office into a data-driven business. It allows precise pricing for complex procedures like restoration or implantation, where component costs are high. Clear margin visibility helps make informed decisions on discounts for prepayments or loyalty programs for regular clients.

How it works

1

Setting up techcards for clinical procedures

The admin or lead doctor adds a list of materials to each service in the price list, for example, specifying the amount of composite, adhesive, and sterile x-ray packets.

2

Performing treatment and closing the visit

The doctor treats a cavity or installs an implant and closes the appointment in the software. The system automatically analyzes the selected service and instantly updates clinic stock levels.

3

Margin analysis and purchase planning

The owner reviews reports showing the real margin of each procedure. Based on consumption rates, an automatic purchase list is generated to avoid chair downtime.

Do I have to create tech cards for all services?

No. Tech cards are only needed for services that use consumable materials (colouring, manicure, spa treatment, dental procedures). For consultations, check-ups, or services without materials — no tech card is needed; the order closes without any write-off.

Can actual consumption be corrected if it differs from the norm?

Yes. When closing an order, the technician can correct actual consumption (e.g. '80 g → 90 g, reason: long hair'). The correction with reason is stored in the audit log. If corrections become systematic for a specific technician — AI alerts that the tech card norm should be reviewed or there is another reason (errors, leakage).

How does AI help with service tech cards?

AI does two things: 1) **Highlights systematic overuse by technician** — weekly compares each technician's actual consumption against the norm and alerts ('Masha +18% above norm over 14 days — check'). Helps identify new staff who haven't mastered the norms yet, technique errors, or potential material 'leakage'; 2) **Suggests norm updates based on real data** — quarterly analyses average actual consumption across all technicians and suggests raising the norm if it's consistently above standard, or lowering it if below. Tech card norms evolve with real practice rather than going stale in Excel for years.

Can I set up different techcards for the same service depending on the material manufacturer?

Yes, you can create multiple techcard variations for one procedure. This is handy when a patient chooses between budget and premium photopolymer during cavity treatment or restoration.

How does the system handle consumables that can’t be counted per piece, like adhesive systems?

Techcards allow specifying materials in milliliters or grams. The system automatically deducts these amounts from the total bottle volume in stock each time the patient’s medical record is closed.
