It is a CE-marked Class I Medical Device that uses speech recognition and natural language processing to turn explicitly stated consultation information into structured documentation drafts for clinician review and approval. Dentio is not a generic transcription tool. It is specialised dental software that transcribes and structures dental terminology and drafts records such as journal entries, odontograms, perio charts, referrals, referral responses, and remittance letters. ### The Problem Dentio Solves The administrative burden on dental professionals is a documented crisis: - 90% of dentists at Folktandvården Sörmland report working on patient administration outside regular hours (Tjänstetandläkarnas Sörmland survey, reported in *Tandläkartidningen*, Suslick, 2024) - Only 15% receive compensation for this administrative overtime - 57% of dentists spend too much time on clinical documentation (Tandläkartidningen) - Young dentists cite administrative work as their primary source of professional stress - Average 1-5 hours per week in unpaid administrative overtime per dentist The 2026 Swedish dental care reform further increases documentation requirements, making efficient documentation tools essential. ### How Dentio Works 1. **Record**: Clinician starts recording at the beginning of a patient appointment with one click 2. **Listen**: AI listens to the patient consultation in real time and drafts structured documentation from what the clinician states 3. **Process**: Recording is uploaded automatically to EU servers (encrypted end-to-end) 4. **Generate**: AI generates structured draft clinical notes, odontograms, perio charts, referrals, and referral responses 5. **Review**: Clinician reviews, edits, and approves all drafts before saving 6. **Transfer**: Approved documentation is ready for immediate use or transfer to the clinic's EHR/journal system **Safety principle by design**: Dentio does not auto-populate EHR systems. AI output is a draft that requires clinician review and approval before use. --- ## Core Features (Detailed) ### 1. AI Ambient Scribe — Voice-to-Structured-Documentation Dentio's flagship feature transforms spoken patient consultations into structured draft clinical documentation. - **Real-time transcription**: Live display of transcribed speech during the consultation - **Input handling**: The current released configuration is validated for Swedish clinical documentation workflows - **Structured output**: AI doesn't just transcribe — it generates formatted draft clinical records using the clinic's templates - **Automatic template matching**: Documentation automatically follows the clinic's preferred structure and terminology - **Clinician-specific setup**: Templates and preferences can be configured for each clinician's documentation style - **Natural speech**: No special commands or structured dictation required — speak naturally to the patient ### 2. Smart Journaling & Template System - **Clinic-specific templates**: Each clinic configures templates that match their workflow and journal system - **Automatic application**: AI applies the correct template structure to every consultation - **Consistent terminology**: Ensures professional, consistent Swedish (or other language) medical terminology - **Smart fill**: Context-aware field population based on consultation content - **Edit once, reuse**: Template changes propagate across future documentation ### 3. Odontogram (Tooth Status) Generation - **Draft charting**: Generates tooth-by-tooth status drafts based on clinician's spoken findings - **Surface-level detail**: Marks per tooth and per surface (mesial, distal, buccal, lingual, occlusal) - **Consolidation**: Automatically combines multiple mentions of the same tooth into a single entry - **Clipboard integration**: One-click copy for transfer to EHR systems - **Clinician verification required**: All generated odontograms must be reviewed before use ### 4.

Unlike dictation which produces unstructured text, Dentio understands clinical context and formats output according to the clinic's templates. Includes procedure code suggestions, referral drafts, and periodontal charting. ### AI for Dentists (https://dentio.com/sv/ai-for-tandlakare/) Dentists save 1–2 hours per day on documentation. Journal drafts are ready before the patient leaves the room. No evening documentation backlog. AI-suggested procedure codes reduce rejection rate. Works with existing EHR systems via copy-paste — no integration required. ### AI for Clinic Managers (https://dentio.com/sv/for-klinikchef/) Standardized documentation across all clinicians regardless of experience level. Reduced rejected procedure codes. Better work environment (less overtime stress = lower staff turnover). Fully web-based, no IT installation. ROI typically achieved within the first month. Scalable for multi-clinic organizations with dedicated change management support. --- ## Guides & Educational Content ### How Does AI Documentation Work? (https://dentio.com/sv/guider/hur-fungerar-ai-journalforing/) Three technologies combined: (1) Speech recognition converts speech to text, (2) Clinical NLP understands dental terminology and context, (3) Structured document generation formats output according to templates. The clinician records with one click, consults normally, and receives a structured draft within seconds for review. ### Dictation vs AI Documentation (https://dentio.com/sv/guider/diktering-vs-ai-journalforing/) Key differences: Dictation produces unstructured verbatim text requiring manual formatting (30–50% time savings). AI documentation produces structured drafts following clinic templates with procedure code suggestions (80–90% time savings). Dictation requires you to dictate specifically; AI documentation listens to normal patient conversation. ### Checklist: Implementing AI at a Dental Clinic (https://dentio.com/sv/guider/checklista-infora-ai-tandklinik/) Six phases: (1) Needs analysis — map current documentation time and pain points, (2) Security & compliance — verify GDPR, CE marking, ISO 27001, (3) Pilot — 1–3 clinicians for 2–4 weeks with defined success metrics, (4) Template configuration — create templates for common treatment types, (5) Training & rollout — 30–60 min training, internal champion, (6) Measurement — compare time saved, rejected code rate, stress levels. --- ## Key Statistics (Swedish Dental Market) - 59% of dental professionals handle administration after work hours (Tandläkartidningen, 2024) - 37% of reviewed procedure codes are rejected by Försäkringskassan - 430 million SEK in incorrect payouts annually in Swedish dental care - Dentio users report saving 1–2 hours per day on documentation - 76% of surveyed users reduced after-hours admin time by average 60% - 88% of surveyed users reported increased job satisfaction and reduced stress - Average time saving: 5–7 minutes per patient visit - Most clinics fully operational within 1 week --- ## Regulatory Compliance & Certifications Dentio maintains a full regulatory baseline for the Nordic dental market. ### EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745) - **Classification**: Class I Medical Device - **CE Marking**: Compliant per Article 52(7), Annex IV of MDR 2017/745 - **Registration**: Registered in EUDAMED; Läkemedelsverket is the competent authority in Sweden - **UDI-DI**: 07350183430006 - **Basic UDI-DI**: 735018343Dentio_v1AM - **Quality Management**: Systematic quality management system with post-market surveillance - **Intended Use**: AI-assisted administrative documentation tool for licensed dental professionals - **Clinical Safety**: All output requires clinician review — no autonomous clinical decisions ### EU AI Act Compliance - **Classification**: Limited-risk AI system - **Transparency**: Full disclosure of AI involvement in documentation generation - **User notification**: Clinicians are informed when AI-generated content is presented - **Audit logging**: Comprehensive audit trails for monitoring and accountability - **Incident reporting**: Established mechanism for reporting and addressing AI-related incidents - **Assessment published**: EU AI Act assessment version 1.0 (May 2025) ### GDPR Compliance - **Data minimization**: Only necessary data collected and processed - **Purpose limitation**: Data used exclusively for documentation generation - **Storage limitation**: Audio deleted within 24 hours; transcripts deleted within 30 days - **Data subject rights**: Full support for access, rectification, erasure, portability - **Data Protection Officer**: Dedicated DPO (dpo@dentio.com) - **Data processing terms**: Provided during customer contracting - **Privacy Policy**: Published and regularly updated (current version 1.3, June 2026) ### Additional Compliance - **ISO 27001**: Certified information security management system - **Swedish Patient Data Act (Patientdatalagen)**: Compliant - **Patient consent**: Informed, explicit, documented consent required before any recording - **No secondary data use**: Patient data is not used for AI model training or any secondary purpose --- ## Data Security & Privacy Dentio implements defense-in-depth security across the platform. ### Encryption - **In transit**: TLS 1.2+ for all data transmission - **At rest**: AES-256 encryption for all stored data - **End-to-end**: Sensitive data encrypted from capture to deletion - **Backups**: Encrypted backups stored for 30 days (rolling) ### Data Lifecycle - **Audio recordings**: Automatically deleted within 24 hours of transcription completion - **Transcripts and AI drafts**: Stored for maximum 30 days, then automatically and permanently deleted - **Application and security logs**: Stored up to 400 days - **Voice profiles**: Stored during account activation; deleted on account termination or by request ### Infrastructure Patient data is processed and stored within the EU/EEA under Dentio's contractual data processing terms.
