Abstract

This article aims to describe the creation of an information management system called Dental App as a customer relationship management (CRM) strategy to identify through the acquisition of photographic images and video signs and characteristics, needs and expectations of the structures of the stomatognathic system of clients-patients (relational capital). The central argument is that with the arrival of teleodontology, which is immersed in the tools of dynamization of relational marketing, greater openness can be generated, in terms of information transmission, reception and evaluation of data, transforming the new specialty of orofacial harmonization in dentistry. For this we used a methodological strategy of documentary-style using the methods both descriptive and analytical and descriptive in nature through an exploratory study using as the main instrument, the survey through a form in google drive with the intention of understanding of the knowledge possessed by their customers-patients on the confluence between the aesthetic procedures that converge in the new specialty from the local context in Venezuela, in the year 2021, with a sample of 169 customer-patients of the dental center face of the author, using in its design a total of 15 questions. This allowed to verify that the creation of the app dental is a tool that generates greater accessibility to information, fosters a feedback mutual as a supporting tool in the diagnosis and future treatment plan in the harmonization orofacial, in turn, works as a support in the service of information with respect to trends, prices and location bringing modernization of the society.
