Description of the App “PEP-dent”- Patient supported Esthetic Protocol
This application combines the ease of use of a standard application with the power of a multifunctional software.
This application is made for the whole field of restorative dentistry, dental technicians and other involved disciplines. It is a new and unique tool, which will be used in the esthetic sensitive area of dentistry, especially for the demanding task of the reconstruction of anterior teeth.
It is easy to use and based on empathic communication with the patient, indispensable for the sympathetic, interdisciplinary communication.
The PEP-dent provides no esthetic Checklists, to avoid unification of the patient, but on the contrary helps to acknowledge the facial physiognomy and uniqueness of each individual. The utilization is almost self-explanatory and can easily be integrated in the daily work with the patient. The protocol may be saved as PDF-file after the closure of the treatment and should be added to the patient’s medical history and serves also as quality assurance.

•The PEP-dent attends and involves the Patient through the whole process of the treatment, starting with the diagnostic process till the finalization of the reconstruction.
•The PEP-dent motivates the patients to define their wishes and to participate active at the process of the development and decision.
•The PEP-dent is a protocol; it documents and shows circuits, contradictions and misapprehensions. In each meeting with the patient, all alterations that have been developed in collaboration with the patient will be documented with photos and videos. It is possible to switch on and off the visibility of each meeting-layer. Each step of the procedure has its own color. So, if all meeting-layers are visible you can recognize the course of the treatment and if the history is invisible, each new step can be considered as a new evaluation.

But it’s simplicity allows that the patients may cognitive comprehend each single step of the treatment, to define their own thoughts and wishes and to realize them in the reconstruction.
