	Persistent Patient History Patient information is always just one click away Access all relevant patient information at any time while going through the case. Access to medical history, photos, x-rays, and dental charts is always just one click away. Create as many additional sections as needed using any combination of text and graphic files.
Automatic Scoring Save hours of valuable time with automatic case scoring and recording For educators and instructors, grading student performance can require hours of tedious, additional work. PeBLS' automatic scoring system can help quickly assess overall student performance for entire classes and free up valuable time for use in classes and clinical instruction.
	Drag-and-Drop Treatment Planning Test for deeper understanding with interactive treatment plans Creating a successful treatment plan requires understanding what treatment steps need to be taken and what the proper order of those steps should be. PeBLS' drag-and-drop treatment planning tests students' mastery of this knowledge by allowing them to create treatment plans using drag-and-drop tools from lists of random treatment options. These treatment lists can also include confounding answers. PeBLS scores the student's first plan submitted and then provides iterative feedback to encourage further learning.
Interactive Dental Charting Use standard dental charts to intuitively select specific treatments for tooth surfaces Engage students on a deeper level by using interactive dental charting to let students selectively mark the surfaces of the teeth with their observations and treatments based on the patient history. PeBLS automatically scores the student's marks based on the author's ideal answer and can provide additional hints about why these choices are correct.
	Easy Case Authoring Create truly interactive dental case tools you already know Anyone who has used a word processor or uploaded a photo to a photo-sharing site will feel right at home in the PeBLS case authoring environment. It's easy to upload patient history, pictures, and x-rays. Authors can create treatment options, add confounding answers, designate best answers, and even include hints for students — all without having to know complex markup and programming languages.
Share Your Cases … or Not Share your cases with others or keep them totally private Share your cases with your class, study group, departments, or other schools. PeBLS also lets you share your cases with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, and more. Sharing not for you? Keep all of your cases private — the choice is yours.
