The 170 numbers of a periodontal chart, spoken instead of typed.
Dictadent lets dental hygienists and dentists dictate at the chair, hands-free. A strict parser checks every pocket depth and reads it back while the probe is still in the mouth. The record is picked up on the PC, pasted into the practice system and wiped. Early access: a prototype for test data, practitioner tests first.
A periodontal chart is six pocket depths per element, about 170 numbers. With gloves on, the phone cannot be touched, so the numbers are held in memory or on paper and typed after the session. Hygienists who work alone have nobody to type for them. Elsewhere, an assistant types while the dentist calls out. By five o'clock, patients blur together.

The periodontal chart is the workflow other dictation tools leave alone, and the largest time loss for the buyer who decides alone. Dictadent keeps language models out of the number path: a pocket depth drives a diagnosis, so the parser refuses anything ambiguous. Needing no integration, it is built to sit beside any practice system.
Log in on the phone at the chair and label the treatment. Labels with a date of birth, BSN or e-mail address are refused.
Say "sixteen, three two three, two three four". The microphone stays on for the whole chart; the phone is never touched.
A large read-back confirms each element. Naming the next element locks the previous one. Errors say exactly what to repeat.
Say "klaar" and the chart is stored with an expiry set by the practice, by default eight hours.
Pick it up on the PC within seconds, paste it into the practice system and press Klaar to wipe it from the server.
Refuses anything ambiguous. No AI touches the pocket depths.
Each element number is its own confirmation. Thirty checks per chart, zero taps.
Large type, light theme, readable under a treatment lamp with loupes on.
Built to work next to any practice system, without integration.
For other treatments, AI writes the record from your dictation, per template.
Partner, practice and user levels, each with own branding and settings.
Per practitioner per month, so a single-handed hygienist pays for one seat. The price is set with early-access practices. AI use runs on Khaya Credits; the periodontal chart itself uses no language model.
Join early access as a practitioner tester or design partner. First step: a test with invented charts in a real treatment room, suction running.
Early access in the Netherlands, in Dutch. Not yet for real patient data: EU speech processing and practitioner tests come first.
Resell it under your own name, or deploy it in your own organisation. Either way, we build and run it.
