Patterson Dental Releases CAESY Cloud 1.2

Version 1.2 offers website compatibility and even more presentations via the Cloud

ST. PAUL, Minn. – (February 29, 2012) – Patterson Dental Supply, Inc. announces new updates to CAESY Cloud, its online patient education portal that gives users access to CAESY Patient Education multimedia presentations via the Cloud. CAESY Cloud 1.2 now gives practices the ability to embed CAESY presentations within their website(s), and also offers a number of new and updated presentations to increase case acceptance and enhance practice offerings.

The new ability for subscribers to embed CAESY Cloud presentations within their websites allows professionals to better promote their services and demonstrate their commitment to educating patients with detailed explanations of dental conditions and treatment options. This online tool can be especially helpful for doctors who offer cutting-edge procedures for their patients. For example, dentists who specialize in CEREC restorations may find it beneficial to embed videos in their website to promote their abilities to patients or prospective patients.

In addition to this new capability, three new presentations are now available to help practices keep patients informed: Cleaning Prosthetics, Payment Options and Cone Beam X-rays. Additionally, 39 presentations have been updated to keep CAESY Cloud the most current patient education software in the industry with new dental technology and procedures, matching the high-tech atmosphere of today’s dental practices. Presentations in the sections for Dentures, Implants, and Post-op Instructions have also been refreshed to include the newest technology developments.

Launched in July 2011, CAESY Cloud currently offers more than 280 multimedia presentations, which dental offices can access on PC and Mac desktop computers, Smartphones, and the iPad, iPhone and iPod. CAESY Cloud requires no installation. All that is needed to access CAESY Cloud is an Internet connection—networked connections between participating computers are not required. Dental professionals can simply sign up for the service by visiting www.CAESYCloud.com and gain access to the presentations for immediate use from anywhere. After subscribing, users then visit the website to access the full library of CAESY’s robust patient education presentations. A low monthly subscription fee makes CAESY Cloud available to dental practices with little initial investment.
