Transforming Dental Imaging: The Launch of a Comprehensive Web Solution
Seamless Remote Access and Optimized Workflows for Over 1,000 Clinics
A dental software provider serving over 1,000 clinics faced a challenge with their existing desktop-only application, which restricted users to on-site workstations for medical image processing. To improve accessibility and remain competitive, they sought to develop a web-based version of the software that would allow dental professionals to access the platform remotely. The solution was designed to accommodate both cloud-hosted and on-premise deployments. The new platform retained essential functionalities while offering a modern, user-friendly interface.

Company overview
A company developing software for digital imagery in the dental practice.
The Challenge
The client's previous desktop software enabled advanced medical image processing but limited access to on-site workstations, restricting the operational flexibility for dental professionals who require remote access. Technical constraints emerged during the transition to a web-based platform, particularly in integrating LeadTools, as some key functionalities were not supported in the web environment. Challenges included:
Ensuring seamless integration of LeadTools for web usage
Adapting workflows to maintain consistency with the desktop version
Supporting both cloud-hosted and on-premise deployments to meet the needs of different clinic sizes
Offering the flexibility and usability expected in a modern web-based platform while maintaining the robustness and scalability of the existing solution
The Solution
Mono successfully developed a comprehensive web-based version of the client’s desktop software using .NET and React/TypeScript. This approach ensured robustness, scalability, and multi-tenancy support, allowing multiple clinics to operate within a shared environment.
Key Features
Remote access
Clinics can access the software from any location, enabling dental professionals to work from anywhere.
Image processing tools
The application includes essential features like patient and series lists, image cards, templates for medical image processing, as well as tools for panning, zooming, brightness/contrast adjustment, and 3D rendering.
LeadTools integration
Despite some API limitations in the web environment, Mono adapted workflows to ensure that core capabilities from the desktop version remain intact.
Cloud and on-premise deployments
The platform is designed for flexibility, accommodating both cloud-hosted solutions and on-premise deployments for larger clinics with specific infrastructure needs.
