Lexi-Comp's Full Library of Dental Resources Now Available for the iPhone™ and iPod® touch

Lexi-DENTAL SELECT™ and Lexi-DENTAL COMPLETE™ provide access to clinical information necessary for fast diagnosis and treatment in the dental office.

Hudson, OH (PRWEB) February 24, 2009 -- Lexi-Comp, Inc., the leading publisher of clinical resources in the dental market, has developed two software packages to deliver its comprehensive library of dental-specific references to iPhone™ and iPod® touch users. Dental professionals and students can now instantly access vital information on medications and interactions, as well as view the full color images, charts, and appendices from Lexi-Comp's print titles.

Both packages feature Dental Lexi-Drugs®, the only pharmacology database available that includes dental-specific information such as: Effects on Dental Treatment, Effects on Bleeding, Local Anesthetic /Vasoconstrictor Precautions, and Dental Comment. Lexi-DENTAL SELECT™ (http://webstore.lexi.com/Product-Details/Lexi-Dental-Select-Details) offers basic diagnosis and treatment protocols with content addressing principles and procedures encountered daily in general dentistry. In addition to the core pharmacology and interactions databases, this package includes Oral Hard Tissue Diseases, Oral Soft Tissue Diseases, Illustrated Handbook of Clinical Dentistry, and Dental Office Medical Emergencies.

Lexi-DENTAL COMPLETE™ (http://webstore.lexi.com/Product-Details/Dental-Complete-Details) is Lexi-Comp's most comprehensive dental software package (http://webstore.lexi.com/Product-Details/Dental-Complete-Details), focusing on advanced diagnosis and treatment. This package offers the databases available in Lexi-DENTAL SELECT, plus the Manual of Clinical Periodontics, Clinician's Endodontic Handbook, Manual of Dental Implants, Oral Surgery for the General Dentist, and Advanced Protocols for Medical Emergencies. It also includes Pediatric Lexi-Drugs®, a database that contains detailed dosing guidelines for neonates, infants, and children, and complementary resources such as Harrison's Practice and Stedman's Medical Dictionary for the Health Professions and Nursing.

With both packages, users can view high quality radiographs and full color photographs and images to aid in diagnosis and treatment. Steven Kerscher, Lexi-Comp's President and COO, comments, "The iPhone and iPod touch are ideal for showcasing the ease of use, linking capabilities, and concise structure of our databases." Kerscher adds, "Delivering the images in our dental manuals on a handheld device, alongside our comprehensive dental-specific drug content, really takes this product offering to the next level in terms of helping general dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, endodontists, and periodontists elevate the level of care they provide."

Lexi-Comp will be offering demonstrations of these packages in Booth #120 at the upcoming Chicago Dental Society 144th Midwinter Meeting, February 27th through March 1st. Attendees visiting the booth to view a demonstration will also have the opportunity to register to win an iPod touch preloaded with the software.
