Configuring devices is an option that enables user to add new device to integrate with Dentalore system in order to directly capture images and save them in the patient’s file at the same time the procedure is performed for the patient.

Dentalore System offers the integration with the following protocols:

1. Video
2. Twain 
3. Bridges (ٍSIDEXIS, VixWin, DBSWIN, Sopro)
