KODAK SOFTDENT Software

Before attempting the linking procedure, you must be aware that there are two options in the process of integration between the Florida Probe and SOFTDENT. SOFTDENT requires you to purchase a 3rd Party Integration license to use any 3rd party software, including Florida Probe. To see if you already purchased this, within your SOFTDENT program, go to About SOFTDENT: License Details.

Option One allows you to use the Florida Probe software and hardware to perform a Periodontal Exam, SOFTDENT will transfer the necessary parameter to FP32 where you may start the exam. With this option you have the ability to print Florida Probe's Hi-Res Graphical Chart, Plaque Chart and other handouts available.
