  • Navigate to the tooth icon in the top left of the sidebar.

  • From here, you will be able to view all the images/x-rays assigned to the current patient. Please note, you can't download images from here. Downloading needs to be done from the cloud gallery.

How do I pin the clinical history sidebar to my screen?

To pin the sidebar, select the โ€˜Pinโ€™ ๐Ÿ“Œ icon at the top of the panel.

This locks the sidebar to the screen and will stay even when swapping to new patients. It will simply update to show the new patients' clinical history.

How do I filter the clinical sidebar Images?

To filter the sidebar images, simply use the drop-down box to change which image type you are viewing on the panel.

Can I open images from the clinical sidebar?

To open the full view of a patient's image/x-ray, simply left-click on the image in the sidebar to open the image itself in Dentally Vision.

How do I open the images in a new tab from the clinical sidebar?

To open your clinical sidebar in a new tab, use the โ€˜Open in new tabโ€™ icon at the top of the panel. This will close your sidebar and open it in another tab on your Chrome browser instead.

How does the sidebar work when switching between patients / closing the patient file?

When using the sidebar, If you close patient file A or switch to patient file B whilst still having a separate tab open for this patient, the tab showing patient Aโ€™s images/x-rays will automatically close. This eliminates the risk of viewing the incorrect images for patient B.

If you have the sidebar pinned, when swapping between patients, the sidebar will automatically reload with the new patient's images; if the sidebar is NOT pinned, the panel will close when swapping between patients and would need to be reopened manually.
