Viewing Case Presentations

How would you like to share a case with nearly 10,000 other dentists? Have you ever wanted to ask a colleague for a second opinion, but they practice in another state? Do you have a patient with an oral lesion that would benefit from 10,000 other opinions? Now you have the ability to upload your case photos and radiographs. You can add case notes of any length and your case will be available for viewing to all of the Townies or you can password protect your case so only colleagues you invite can view your case. It’s up to you.

Viewing A Case Presentation
1. Go to www.dentaltown.com

2. On the homepage in the upper right hand corner is the flashing Case Presentation button. Click on that with your mouse.

3. You will then be taken to the Login page. If you are a registered member of DentalTown, simply enter your Login name and Password in the spaces provided, then hit Enter or click on Login with your mouse. If you are a new visitor to DentalTown, you will need to register. Simply scroll down the page to where it says: REGISTER WITH US BELOW! Fill in the few required boxes (please remember to scroll down the page) and then hit Enter or click on Register with the mouse.

4. The first time entering the Case Presentaion module, all Townies will need to read and accept the Agreement Between User and DentalTown.com. To accept the terms and conditions, click on the box next to I Accept These Terms and Conditions so that there is a check mark in it, then click Accept with your mouse.

5. Once you have entered the Case Presentation side you will be on its introduction page. If you are interested in specific categories, i.e. cosmetics, endodontics, etc., go to the Select A Category box on the left-hand side of the page. Click on the drop down arrow with your mouse and highlight the category that interests you.

Click Go with your mouse. (You may also search by a Townie’s specific username or by keyword, just type the information in the appropriate box and hit Go.) If you would just like to view the cases the Townies are talking about today, click on Today’s Active Cases with your mouse.

6. When you get to the topic you chose or Today’s Active Cases, you’ll see a “teaser” picture of the case being presented, the DT Member Name, the Case Name and the Submit Date. In order to view a case click on the DT Member Name in the case you are interested in.

7. Now you are in the Townie’s case presentation. There is a little introduction of the case followed by images with explanations from the Townie. If you would like to comment on the Townie’s case, scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and click on Post Comment with your mouse.

8. Posting a comment is similar to email. Name your comment in the Heading box, then type your comments in the Comments box. When finished click Post Comment with your mouse. Now you will be taken back to the page where you view everyone’s comments.

DentalTown is pleased to be able to provide this wonderful new communication tool the the Townies. Next month’s DentalTown.com Web Tips will feature How to Post a Case Presentation.
