Carelinq Dental vs Invivo
Osteoid’s CBCT viewing and planning software for Windows and Mac, sold by subscription, with Invivo Workspace for sharing in the browser. Carelinq Dental is practice management and imaging in one app, on Windows, Mac, iPad and Android tablets.
What changes
CBCT where the patient already is
Invivo is a standalone viewer. Carelinq Dental opens CBCT volumes in the patient’s chart, in axial, sagittal, coronal and 3D views, next to their 2D X-rays, scans and treatment plan.
The whole practice, not just the scan
The schedule, chart, ledger, claims, imaging and an AI assistant are in one app. You don’t need a second program for 3D.
On the iPad chairside
Show a patient their scan on an iPad, or on an Android tablet, in the same app the front desk uses.
