PREP™ App Revolutionizes Dental Implant Planning by Integrating Comprehensive Medical Risk Assessment
DH
VANCOUVER, BC – July 29, 2025 – In a significant leap forward for dental implant patients and implant dentists, Dr. Harold Bergman today announced the official launch of PREP™ (Patient Risk Evaluation Platform), a groundbreaking mobile application designed to empower implant dentists with detailed insights into how a patient's systemic medical health impacts the success and longevity of dental implants.
For too long, the intricate relationship between a patient's overall health and the prognosis of dental implants has presented a complex challenge for both patients and practitioners. While fundamental medical history collection is standard, a comprehensive, evidence-based tool for evaluating these specific interdependencies has been lacking. PREP™ addresses this critical need by providing a sophisticated, user-friendly platform that translates complex medical data into actionable insights for implant treatment planning.
"The success of a dental implant goes far beyond the surgical chair; it's deeply rooted in the patient's systemic health," says Dr. Bergman. "With PREP™, we're giving implant dentists an unprecedented tool to proactively identify, understand, and mitigate medical risks. This means more predictable outcomes, fewer complications, and ultimately, enhanced patient safety and satisfaction."
Key Features and Benefits of PREP™ Include:
· Comprehensive Medical Risk Profiling: PREP™ systematically collects and analyzes a wide array of patient medical conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors.
· Evidence-Based Correlations: The app provides detailed, evidence-based explanations of how specific medical issues (e.g., diabetes, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular conditions, certain medications like bisphosphonates or SSRIs) can influence osseointegration, infection risk, healing, and long-term implant stability.
· Actionable Insights & Recommendations: PREP™ goes beyond simply identifying risks, offering practical guidance and considerations for treatment modifications, referral needs, or enhanced post-operative protocols based on the patient's unique health profile.
· Intuitive Interface: Designed with the busy dental professional in mind, PREP™ features a clear, intuitive interface for efficient data entry and easy comprehension of complex medical correlations.
· Enhanced Patient Communication: The app can assist dentists in explaining the medical implications of implant treatment to patients, fostering greater understanding and informed consent.
· Data Security & Compliance: Dr. Bergman prioritizes patient data privacy and security, ensuring PREP™ adheres to recent proficiency requirements in unified, regulatory body, professional guidelines and standards for implant dentistry.
"In an era where dental implant procedures are expensive and increasingly common, often involving patients with complex medical histories, a tool like PREP™ is no longer a luxury but a necessity," adds Dr. Bergman. "We believe PREP™ will empower implant dentists to make more informed decisions, leading to higher success rates and better overall patient care."
PREP™ will soon be available for download through direct subscription at simplersolutions.ca. Free trials for patients and dentists are available.
