About

Dentellect

Features
Read full description

Dentellect is a digital productivity tool designed for qualified dental professionals. It assists with the structured scoring of dental assessments, such as the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN), by replicating traditional paper-based methods in a clean, checklist-style interface. Dentellect does not make clinical decisions or provide diagnostic advice. It simply helps users document the highest applicable score based on their professional observations. The app includes standard dental terminology (e.g., cleft palate, hypodontia) used in widely recognized scoring frameworks. These terms are presented for reference and workflow familiarity only. Dentellect is not a medical device. It is not intended for patient use, and does not collect or store health data. It operates entirely on-device, with no connection to any health records or clinical systems.
