How Dental Prosthetics & Laboratory Technology works in SkillScorer
Score
Each team member in a surgery is scored on the Dental Prosthetics & Laboratory Technology skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank team members, compare two side by side, or compare your surgeries against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Dental Prosthetics & Laboratory Technology skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior clinician's surgery.
