DentalMac to MacPractice DDS to iDental Feature Comparison

There are about a dozen iDental users for whom we have saved this feature comparison. HealthWare Corporation of Lincoln, NE was the developer of iDental. HealthWare ceased doing business in May, 2007. 225 HealthWare clients upgraded to MacPractice as of 7/16/07, very few of whom actually were using iDental. With the assistance of former iDental users, we prepared the following comparison on November 21, 2006 between DentalMac, MacPractice DDS, and iDental. The development team for iDental has disbanded.
