Multimedia Education
Not too long ago, a dentist had the first and the last word about a patient's dental treatment. Well, the dental patient has turned into a savvy dental consumer who wants to be part of any treatment decision. And dentists have had to become patient educators.
Dentists have learned a few things about patient education. They've learned that words alone don't cut it. Neither do static diagrams. Their patients want visual education. They want dazzling 3-D graphics, animation, and sparkling color. And patients want to control what they watch. They want multimedia patient education. Several programs are out there. But the hands-down, number-one multimedia patient education program for US dentists is CAESY (Clinically Advanced Education SYstem).
This is multimedia at its best. Whether you're in your dentist's waiting room, consultation room or dental chair, you can aim a remote at a television monitor, then click to find out what you want to know about your dental treatment. You select from over 140 Digital Video Disc (DVD) presentations covering cosmetic dentistry, crowns, root canals, and hygiene - the scope of this program is staggering.
Do your kids visit a children's dentist (pediatric dentist)? The CAESY Clubhouse delights and educates children with presentations that feature Kirby, a real and very smart chimpanzee, and two curious terriers who take young viewers on a tour of a dentist office.
With full-motion video, amazing 3-D graphics, before-and-after photos, theater-quality music, and multi-language narratives, CAESY is the benchmark for multimedia patient education. It will definitely make you an informed dental consumer.
