Migrate your axiUm Dental data
Academic dental EHR and practice management system dominant in North American dental schools, with on-premise and cloud editions serving both educational institutions and large dental service organizations.
In its favor
Why people choose axiUm Dental
The signal that keeps axiUm Dental on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Dominant market presence in academic dental education with over 90% of North American dental schools using Exan Software, making it the de facto standard for student management and CODA accreditation compliance.
Fully integrated EHR covering patient demographics, scheduling, clinical charting, periodontal records, billing, and student evaluation in a single system, reducing data silos within institutions.
HIPAA-compliant and ONC-ATCB certified, meeting federal EHR meaningful-use requirements that academic institutions and large dental service organizations are legally required to satisfy.
Modular architecture allows schools to license only needed modules (Core vs Plus modules), providing flexibility for institutions with different operational requirements.
Cloud and on-premise deployment options through Exan Software and Henry Schein One provide institutions with IT infrastructure choices suited to their campus network policies.
Outdated desktop-first interface requires significant user training, and multi-step workflows for completing post-treatment documentation frustrate clinical staff and slow patient throughput.
Limited visibility for custom medical alerts — non-standard health history items that should flag prominently in a patient record require IT configuration to display correctly, creating patient safety risks.
Transitioning from a dental school environment to a commercial dental service organization reveals that axiUm's student evaluation and competency tracking features are overkill for private practice workflows.
Customer support responsiveness is inconsistent, with institutional IT staff often left to resolve configuration issues without vendor escalation paths.
Proprietary data schema and limited published API documentation make third-party integrations and data portability difficult without Exan Professional Services involvement.

What gets migrated
axiUm Dental object support
Object-by-object support for axiUm Dental migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Patients
Fully supportedPatient records in axiUm include demographics, financial information, and insurance data. We export the Patient Card data directly and map it to the destination system's patient or person object with all standard fields intact.
Electronic Health Records (EHR)
Fully supportedaxiUm stores clinical encounters, treatment history, and clinical notes within the EHR module. We export encounter-level data and preserve the clinical narrative as structured text in the destination system.
Odontogram Charting
Mapping requiredThe odontogram is axiUm's tooth-by-tooth charting system with surface-level notation. We export charting data as a structured clinical record; destination systems without a native odontogram object receive it as a formatted clinical note block.
Perio Chart
Mapping requiredPeriodontal charting includes pocket depths, recession measurements, and mobility scores across six sites per tooth. We map these into the destination's periodontal module or encode them as clinical measurements if the target lacks a Perio object.
Appointments and Scheduling
Fully supportedWe export the appointment schedule including date, time, provider, operator, appointment type, and status. Recall appointments and waitlist entries are exported as separate scheduling records.
Transactions and Billing
Mapping requiredFinancial transactions including procedure codes, fees, payments, adjustments, and insurance claims are exported. Value mapping between CDT codes and the destination billing schema is performed during the transformation phase.
Treatment Plans
Fully supportedTreatment plans with procedure sequences, provider notes, and plan status are exported and mapped to the destination system's treatment planning module.
Custom Clinical Forms
Mapping requiredaxiUm's Forms module stores institution-specific clinical forms. We export form definitions and completed form data together; form schema translation to the destination system requires a custom mapping pass per form.
Attachments and Consents
Mapping requiredScanned documents, uploaded consent forms, and binary attachments are exported with their metadata. We preserve file names and associate each document with its parent patient record in the destination system.
Student Evaluations
Mapping requiredUnique to the Academic edition, student competency assessments and faculty evaluations are exported as structured records. These map to a custom object in most commercial dental CRMs since that object type does not exist outside academic systems.
MiPACS Imaging
Not in this platformCBCT scans and DICOM imaging handled by MiPACS are stored in a separate DICOM-compliant format and PACS archive. We do not migrate binary imaging data. We export the MiPACS reference link and study metadata so the imaging archive can be re-linked in the destination system.
Insurance and EDI Claims
Mapping requiredInsurance carrier data, benefit information, and EDI claim submission history are exported. The EDI remittance data requires value mapping against the destination's insurance data model.
