The term “SLIDA-interface” is short for “Sidexis Link to Dental Applications”. In general, it means the included possibility of connecting Sidexis with other programs. For this to be possible, a SLIDA-conform counter piece needs to be included in the partner-software. As there are different functionality levels, we recommend the programmers among you to download the SLIDA documentation from this website.
Why is the SLIDA interface important for your dental practice?
SLIDA is an interface created by Dentsply Sirona to connect Sidexis 4 with your Practice Management Software (PMS) and other third-party software.
- Your patient data is automatically synchronized with Sidexis 4, so there is no need to create patients manually. And if you change e.g. the name of a patient, it gets synchronized as well.
- You can send a patient X-ray with just a single click in your PMS to Sidexis 4. Sidexis 4 will then automatically register this patient and sets your X-ray device so that it's ready for exposure.
- Your PMS will receive a confirmation for your billing that a requested X-ray image has been taken.
- Acquired 2D images can be transferred automatically to your PMS if you prefer to do your diagnosis there.
More than 200 Practice Management Systems worldwide are already connected to Sidexis 4 via the SLIDA interface.
