Trophy (Enhanced) Bridge

In the Main Menu, click Setup, Program Links. Double-click Trophy(enhanced).

After version 5.0, this is known as Kodak Dental Imaging (KDI). Also use this bridge for some Carestream products.

There are two different Trophy bridges available:

Note: To change patients, close Kodak, switch patients in Open Dental, then reopen the bridge.


To enable the bridge:

  1. Check the Enabled box.
  2. Verify the Path of file to open.
  3. Double-click on a row in Additional Properties to change settings.
    1. Storage Path: Where images are stored.
    2. Enter 1 to enable Numbered Mode
  4. Set up a clickable bridge button.
    1. Under Add a button to these toolbars, highlight where to display the button.
    2. Enter the Text on button.
    3. (Optional) Import an image to show on the button (22 x 22 pixels).
  5. If using clinics, click Hide Button for Clinics. Select which clinics the button should display on.
  6. Click Save.

Technical Details

Storage Path: The storage path might look similar to

\\SERVER\tw

or

F:\tw


The storage path must be set to exactly the same value as the database location within Trophy. The location for the database can be edited within the Trophy program. Trophy uses this database path when searching for patients.

Enhanced Bridge
If using Fona OrisWin imaging then the enhanced bridge is the correct bridge to use. If using the enhanced bridge, then each patient has a Trophy Folder path entered in the Patient Edit window. The folder name for one patient might look similar to

G.rvg\G0000001

or

\\SERVER\tw\G.rvg\G0000001


The bridge makes the following assumptions:

Automation capabilities of the bridge:

Example text file:

Name of file: FILEDATA.txt. Contents:

[Patient file]

NUMERO=W0000022

NOM=WALIA

PRENOM=KUNAL

DATE=19820411

SECU=...-..-....

CODE=.....-....

TEL1= (...)...-....

TEL2= (...)...-....

PHOTO=

EXTNUM=W0000022

Enhanced Bridge, Numbered Mode
Some installations of Trophy do not use FILEDATA.txt files, and the folders are numbered according to patient ID. The patient folders are grouped into subfolders with similar numbers. If the user has had a conversion from SoftDent to Open Dental, and if the patient ID numbers have been preserved, then many existing patients already have patient image folders named by their patient numbers.

Automation sequence:

As an alternative to linking folders on the fly, we provide an image conversion service which links up the folders ahead of time.

Troubleshooting

If the bridge isn't working, troubleshoot it by creating a windows shortcut. The location / target is the Trophy program itself. For example, C:\Program Files\Trophy\TW.exe. After creating the shortcut, right-click on it and select properties. Edit the target. Add a space after the original target and then -P, then no space, then the full path to a patient folder without any trailing \. Similar to this:

C:\Program Files\Trophy\TW.exe -PF:\tw\G.rvg\G0000001


Close the properties window. Then, click the shortcut to test. This simulates exactly what Open Dental is doing. If this doesn't work, then Open Dental won't work either. If it does work, change the settings in Open Dental to match.
