XCPT, LLC has signed an agreement with the University of Pennsylvania to place XCPT's Treatment Planning and Communication Software solution at the Penn School of Dental Medicine.

XCPT's software is a highly graphic, face-to-face, patient consultation and treatment planning method that recognizes the importance of visual learning during treatment planning. With XCPT, the patient is involved in every step of the dental treatment process as the clinician uses the patient's own x-rays, CT scans and photographs to communicate treatment options and solutions. "XCPT's software helps patients decide what is best for them in a trusting, open environment," says Dr. Steven J. Feldman, CEO of XCPT. "With its use, we're seeing doctors gain productivity and increased case acceptance by simply showing the patient what they see."

The signing of the agreement reinforces XCPT's ongoing strategy to be the treatment planning and communication software of choice for the leading dental schools and dental practices throughout the country.

"The University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine students and faculty are looking forward to working with the treatment planning and communication software which we are sure will allow us to explain our cases more clearly to our patients. We highly anticipate our use of XCPT as a clinical and educational tool," said Joseph P. Fiorellini DMD, DMSc, the Chair of the Department of Periodontics.

"We're honored and pleased to have forged this arrangement with the Penn School of Dental Medicine," said Dr. Steven J. Feldman, CEO of XCPT. "From the time of our first meeting with Dr. Fiorellini, we were excited about the prospects of becoming integrated into the curriculum and clinical work at Penn. We see the natural fit between our software's communication capabilities and the school's clinical needs."
