Voice periodontal charting allows dentists and hygienists to record periodontal measurements using their voice instead of manually entering data or relying on another team member to chart. Bola AI Voice Perio recognizes spoken periodontal findings and enters them into the patient’s perio chart while the clinician continues the exam.

During a periodontal exam, the dentist or hygienist calls out measurements and findings while probing the patient. Bola AI recognizes the clinician’s speech and records the information in the periodontal chart in real time. Clinicians can also use voice commands to navigate the chart and make corrections without repeatedly stopping to use the keyboard or mouse.

Yes. One of the primary benefits of voice periodontal charting is allowing a hygienist to perform a periodontal exam independently. The hygienist can call out measurements while probing, and Bola AI records them automatically, eliminating the need for another team member to sit at the computer and manually enter measurements.

Bola AI Voice Perio can capture periodontal findings including probing depths, gingival margins and recession, bleeding, suppuration, mobility, and furcation involvement. Clinicians can also use voice commands to navigate the chart, move between teeth, and correct measurements during the exam.

Time savings vary by practice and workflow, but voice charting can save time by eliminating manual data entry and reducing the need for a second team member during periodontal exams. In a Heartland Dental case study, practices using Bola AI reported an average savings of 18.5 minutes per hygienist per day.

Voice perio charting enables hands-free periodontal documentation, reduces manual data entry, and allows hygienists to complete exams without an assistant entering measurements. It can make comprehensive perio charting easier to incorporate into the hygiene workflow while giving clinicians more time to focus on the patient, discuss findings, and provide education.

Yes. Bola AI is specifically designed to act as a seamless, hands-free assistant for dental hygienists. By eliminating the need for a second person to record numbers or requiring the hygienist to constantly de-glove and re-glove, Bola AI saves an average of 10–15 minutes per perio exam. Our advanced noise-filtering technology is trained to ignore high-volume suction and background clinical noise, making it the most accurate and hygienist-friendly voice charting tool on the market.

Unlike traditional voice recognition systems that require expensive, proprietary hardware, tedious individual voice training, or steep upfront licensing fees, Bola AI works with your existing hardware and requires zero voice training. It adapts to various accents and dialects instantly out of the box. By drastically reducing charting time and freeing up clinical staff, most practices see a full return on investment within the first month.

Bola AI is designed to work with approved, high-quality microphones that provide accurate voice recognition in busy dental environments. For the best performance and a list of supported microphones, visit our Microphones page. 

Bola AI offers deep, native integration with the industry’s leadingPMS( practice management systems), including Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, and Dentrix Ascend. Because our integrations write data directly into your existing patient charts in real time, you don’t have to deal with double data entry or clunky middleware.
