The health information systems (HIS) have become increasingly important in dental practice as they offer benefits such as improved quality of care, increased efficiency, and reduced medical errors. The development of an HIS for primary care dental practice involves several steps, including requirements gathering, system design, implementation, and testing. Dental professionals and staff members must be consulted to identify their needs and preferences for HIS implementation. The system must be designed to be user-friendly and intuitive to ensure ease of use and efficiency. Successful implementation requires the proper consideration of data privacy and security measures. This literature review highlights the benefits of HIS in dental practice and provides real references to studies that have investigated the effectiveness of HIS implementation. The development of an HIS for primary care dental practice can improve patient care and outcomes and enhance the overall efficiency of dental practices.
