Design and Implementation of an Online Dental Clinic Management System

Traditional dental clinic management systems have been in operation over the years. They are paper-based, manually driven, thus resulting in inconsistencies. The need for an automated or computerized dental clinic management system arises to resolve these problems. This research work is PHP-based and automates administrative and clinical operations. The proposed online dental clinic management system will conveniently register patients, schedule appointments with doctors, manage records digitally, track inventory, manage billing/invoice and handle secure role-based access control for various users. The system promotes interactions among administrators, dentist, patients through a web-based interface, thereby ensuring that real-time access to data is guaranteed and thus facilitating clinical operations.
