DentScribe Launches Perio Charting Benchmark and Reports 100% Across All Eight Levels

In its November 2026 results report, DentScribe reported that it passed all 68 tests across eight levels and handled all 24 tested dictation styles perfectly. All 1,967 expected chart entries were correct, with no extra entries. The results evaluate how the engine converts supplied text into chart entries.

"A hygienist should be able to concentrate on the patient and the probe, not on remembering how a computer wants the findings dictated. We worked with dental teams to make those expectations testable, down to the tooth, site, and reading," said Dr. Vinni K. Singh, DDS, AFAAID, Founder and CEO of DentScribe.

A Standard for the Chart and a Benchmark for the Software

The charting standard defines the expected interpretation: Universal tooth numbering, six sites per tooth, reading order as the probe travels around the mouth, and rules for missing teeth, corrections, findings, and scope. The benchmark then tests whether software follows those rules. An entry counts as correct only when the value or finding belongs to the right tooth and site. A test passes only when every expected entry is correct and nothing extra appears.

The eight levels progress from individual readings to complete examinations:

• Explicit Tooth & Site Charting — Correct placement of named readings, including two-digit pocket depths.
• Automatic Navigation — Numbers-only dictation, midline direction changes, arch transitions, and missing teeth.
• Periodontal Findings — Bleeding, suppuration, recession, mucogingival junction measurements, and mobility.
• Flexible Phrasing & Navigation — Different word orders, findings during probing, jumps, and restatements.
• The Real Room — Filler words, patient conversation, corrections, and returning to or resuming probing.
• Accelerated Dictation — Shorthand, scope words, tooth lists, and ranges.
• Safety — Missing teeth receive no readings, incomplete readings stay incomplete, and findings do not spread to unmentioned sites.
• Complete Exams: Full Words & Shorthand — Two complete examinations, each expressed both ways, must produce matching charts.

Performance Beyond the Clean Scripts

DentScribe also passed all 13 additional noisy-room text versions, with 471 of 471 expected entries correct and zero extra entries. These scripts contain simulated speech-recognition mishearings; they are not a live suction-noise or microphone study. Across all 81 clean and noisy scripts, eight runs per script produced identical charts.

Both full-word and shorthand versions of each complete exam produced the same expected chart. For the second exam, shorthand reduced the script from 397 words to 210, about 47% fewer words. This measures script length, not demonstrated chairside time savings.

"Accurate transcription is only the beginning. Perio charting must preserve location and context while the clinician changes direction, corrects a reading, or adds a finding on another tooth. Publishing the scripts and expected charts lets customers inspect those behaviors themselves," said Dr. Ratinder Paul Singh Ahuja, Ph.D., Board Chair of DentScribe.

Evaluate the Charting System in Your Practice

The kit provides read-aloud scripts, expected charts, and a score card. Practices can use the same reader, room, and microphone, score the first attempt, and count extra entries separately. The kit and performance report are available from DentScribe.
