Dentistry is essential to enjoy optimal oral health and to maintain quality of life.

Oral health is so important that without it and without the necessary care to maintain it, we are exposed to a large number of serious oral diseases.

Appropriate dental medical care can treat the vast majority of oral conditions and blockchain technology helps with its controls to facilitate this task.

These are some of the treatments: Deep dental cleaning, removal of cavities. Tooth extraction, orthodontics and endodontics.

Blockchain technology applied in the dental sector offers many advantages both for the dentist and for his dental clinic.

Thanks to Blockchain technology, the dental sector has greater control, registration and visibility when reviewing the medical records of patients. Regarding the management of the clinic, it allows greater control and optimization of resources and monitoring at all levels.

Another important advantage for the dentist is that it is a technology for optimizing their cashflow and even for accessing and participating in training, congresses and industry events without physically moving.

Obtain unique clinical histories, as well as avoid the counterfeiting of medicines, by comparing medical prescriptions and their manufacturing files.

On the other hand, some of the Unlock professors at the University of Barcelona point out that blockchain technology applied to the dental sector will allow dentists “to be able to have greater control, registration and visibility when reviewing the medical records of patients, since this type of technology allows you through a QR code to access all the traceability of the patient’s clinical history, their x-rays, analysis, tests, anamnesis, etc. This means that, even if the patient is outside the country or we have to attend to him in an emergency, we can access all this information”.
