Re-launch

The new programme includes the unique Denplan Excel/PreViser Patient Assessment (DEPPA) which not only offers a current oral health status for patients, but also provides an accurate risk assessment based on the patient’s current habits and lifestyle. The assessment is quick and easy to fill in with patients and allows dental professionals to open channels of communication more easily. It can also provide indicative review of the patient’s Denplan fee category, enhancing the weighting of periodontal disease and introducing future disease risk as a factor.

Roger Matthews, Denplan Chief Dental officer said: “With the current and appropriate emphasis on disease risk assessments for all patients, and building on the positive patient reaction to Denplan's Oral Health Score, the new and unique Denplan PreViser tool keeps clinicians at the forefront of contemporary standards.”

The evening invited the dentists involved in piloting the new Excel programme to enjoy a glass of champagne and the unique London scenery by starlight. After being welcomed by Denplan Managing Director Steve Gates, there were also presentations by Roger Matthews; Professor Ian Chapel from the Birmingham Dental School; Stephen Fayle from the Leeds Dental Institute and Henry Clover, Denplan’s Deputy Chief Dental Officer who talked about the newly revised Excel for Children programme also.
