Remote Chairside Image Viewer

With this Dentrix Ascend release, while the assistant is viewing the Chart or Quick Exam tab of a patient’s clinical record and charting procedures and conditions, the dentist can view the patient’s images on a separate (secondary) monitor during an exam.

To view images in the remote image viewer, do the following:

1. With the Chart or Quick Exam tab of a patient’s clinical record selected, expand the menu next to the Imaging tab, and then set the Remote Image Viewer switch to On.

Note: The switch remains on until you log out of Dentrix Ascend.

2. With the switch on, a Viewer button appears to the right of the tabs, click the button.

The Image Viewer window opens. Drag the window to another monitor’s display. You can resize or maximize the window as needed.
