      Detailed record-keeping is essential in implant dentistry. With more than 250 dental implant companies producing implant components, it is difficult to accurately ascertain each system. While online resources such as https://whatimplantisthat.com may assist in identification, accurate clinical and radiographical recognition is still the responsibility of the dentist. Misidentification of an implant system may lead to clinical mishaps and delays. Offering patients quick response (QR)–coded implant identification wallet cards (Fig. 1) is a straightforward, inexpensive, and universal solution to this problem. Here, the CardExchange Producer Premium software program was used. This software program can be purchased online from CardExchange Solutions.
