Guide
Many clinics recall everyone at six months by habit. Guidance from the UK's NICE suggests intervals should follow each patient's risk. This guide shows how to set and record a per-patient interval and turn it into a list reception can work.

The problem
The NICE clinical guideline on dental recall (CG19, UK) recommends that the interval between oral health reviews be tailored to the patient's disease risk, ranging from 3 to 24 months for adults and 3 to 12 months for patients under 18, and that the interval be reviewed at each check-up using the patient's response and the outcomes achieved. It is a UK guideline and Indian clinics set their own protocols, but the principle is the same: a fixed six months over-recalls low-risk patients and under-recalls high-risk ones, and whichever interval is chosen, someone has to remember to act on it.
How Clinov solves it
Yuktii keeps follow-ups and recalls on the patient record, sets them from the visit, and shows reception a due list with WhatsApp reminders, so the interval you chose is the one that happens.
Write down the intervals your clinic uses and what puts a patient into each one, such as caries activity, periodontal status and habits. The guideline above is a useful reference; your protocol is what your team will follow.
A recall date without a reason is hard to defend or adjust at the next visit. Store the interval and a one-line rationale on the patient record. Yuktii keeps recalls on the record and links them to charted findings and the treatment plan.
The point of risk-based recall is that it moves. Shorten it if disease progressed, lengthen it if the patient stayed stable, and record the change.
Each morning reception should see who is due and who is overdue, and contact them. Yuktii's recall list and WhatsApp reminders are built for this.
A patient who misses a recall should stay on the list, not drop off it. Rebook, and note the reason if you learn it.
The clinic sets the interval; Yuktii schedules and surfaces the recall from it and sends WhatsApp reminders. Confirm the exact recall workflow in a free trial.
