Odontium vs Exquise Next Generation
Working with Exquise Next Generation, or choosing between the two? Odontium lets you choose between your own server and our cloud, runs natively on Windows, macOS and Linux, and has a word processor, spreadsheets and a PDF editor built in, so you need no Office licence per workstation. Six disciplines work in one record, and with a question you call someone who knows Odontium.
What Odontium does differently from Exquise Next Generation
Local or in the cloud
You choose where your data lives: on your own server or in our private cloud, on our own servers in the Netherlands. And you can still switch later.
No Office licences needed
A word processor, spreadsheets, a PDF editor and an image editor are part of Odontium itself. That saves a Microsoft Office licence per workstation, every year.
Windows, macOS and Linux
Odontium runs natively on all three, with light system requirements. You work on the computers you already have.
No announced end-of-support date
We publish no end date for your version. You move when it suits you, not because support is running out.
Features built to order
Because we ship per practice, we can add a button or a feature that only your practice needs. You do not wait for a standard release for everyone.
Keeps going when the internet drops
With Odontium on your own server, the practice simply carries on. In our cloud, two months of schedule stay encrypted on the PC.

Switching from Exquise Next Generation
We take over your records, calendar and history from Exquise, whether you run Next Generation, Classic or ExqLean. X-rays move with them, also when they live in VisiQuick or Romexis. You test on a trial migration with your own data first, and choose the day you switch. Running Exquise Classic or ExqLean Classic? Support for those runs until 31 December 2028.
Questions about Odontium and Exquise Next Generation
Do I need to buy Microsoft Office alongside Odontium?
No. The word processor, spreadsheets, PDF editor and image editor are part of Odontium, so you need no Office licence per workstation.
Can I keep working on-premise with Odontium?
Yes. You choose between an on-premise installation on your own server and our cloud, and you can move between them later.
Does Odontium set an end date for my version?
No, we announce no end of support. You switch when it suits your practice.
Does Odontium work with my X-ray equipment and DICOM?
Almost certainly. We connect directly to VisiQuick, Dürr VistaSoft, Sidexis, Planmeca Romexis and VDDS (such as MediaDent), among others, and Odontium is a DICOM node itself, with a worklist. There is also our own viewer with filters, measurements and CBCT. The radiography page has the full overview.
How many disciplines fit in one Odontium environment?
Six: dentistry, dental hygiene, denture care, dental technology, orthodontics and implant dentistry. All six work in the same record and communicate with each other, with their own permissions per practitioner. Periodontics and orthodontics are full modules, designed together with practitioners from those fields.
What are Odontium's system requirements?
Odontium runs natively on Windows, macOS and Linux, with light system requirements. Where something does not fit, we adapt the software to your environment. Ask us to check your current hardware.
