Advancing oral health,
through better information.
TeethCloud builds the shared framework for Dental Informatics — nine domains, a five-level maturity model, an open forum and project tracks that turn digital dentistry ideas into everyday practice, worldwide and free to join.

Advancing oral health globally through Dental Informatics — building a shared language, framework and community across clinicians, researchers, students, educators, technologists, public-health leaders and patients.
Four programs moving dental informatics forward
The work happens in the open: a discussion forum mapped to the framework, an essay series, a project track, and a maturity assessment any practice or school can run.
Forum
A community discussion space organised around the Nine Domains of Dental Informatics.

DI Maturity
A self-assessment of Dental Informatics maturity across nine categories.
VisitThe Nine Domains of Dental Informatics
Every conversation in the community maps back to these nine areas. Together they describe the whole surface of digital oral healthcare — from the operatory to population health policy.

The DI Maturity Model
Five levels, assessed across the nine categories — a plain way for a practice, a school or a health system to see where it is today and what comes next.
Dentistry generates data every day. Very little of it travels.
Charts, radiographs, scans and treatment records sit in systems that rarely speak to each other — or to the rest of healthcare. Dental Informatics is how that changes: shared definitions, shared standards, and a community that agrees on what good looks like.
- A common vocabulary across clinics, schools and research groups
- A maturity model that turns 'go digital' into concrete next steps
- An open forum where practitioners and technologists solve it together
Writing from the community
Thought Leaders is our essay series — practitioners, researchers and technologists writing about the domains they work in every day.
Run by a volunteer board of clinicians, hygienists, engineers and public-health professionals across four continents.
Everyone has a part in the platform of the future
Professionals
Clinicians, hygienists, educators, technologists and public-health leaders shaping how oral health data is captured, shared and used.
