Hi guys,
We have prev used Exact and were able to do Denplan assessments through it (had a Denplan tab) in patients details etc. How do we now do that in Dentally?

Hi
Dentally doesn’t currently have a native Denplan tab like EXACT. You can still record Denplan OHS/banding assessments in Dentally using a quick template-based workflow. We also have a similar feature request regarding Denplan, feel free to add your thoughts here:
If you’re in NHS Wales, Dentally supports ACORN via a custom-fields template attached to a treatment item. It’s helpful, but ACORN ≠ Denplan, different framework and outputs, so it won’t replace a Denplan OHS form one-for-one.
There’s two options to do Denplan assessments today:
A) Fastest - clinical note template
Create a reusable note template (Settings → Templates → Notes) called “Denplan Assessment (OHS/Banding)” with fields such as:
• Exam date / Assessor
• OHS components (Restorations / Periodontal / Gingival)
• Total OHS & Band (A–E)
• Risk factors / Preventive advice
• Next review due
Clinician inserts the template during the exam; it’s saved in Chart → History and easy to find later.
B) More structured - treatment item + custom fields
Create a treatment item “Denplan Assessment (OHS)” (Settings → Treatments & Plans → +Treatment), then add custom fields for the same OHS data. Add this item to the treatment plan and complete the fields; the completed assessment is saved in the patient record (and can be exported/printed if you need a copy for patients).
Optional extras:
• Upload your DEPPA/Denplan PDF to Patient → Documents.
• Add a discreet admin tag (e.g., Denplan patient) for quick reporting/lists.
