மாற்றப் பதிவேடு
ஒவ்வொரு தரவு புதுப்பிப்பும், திருத்தமும், முறையியல் மாற்றமும் இங்கும் ஒவ்வொரு மருத்துவமனையின் சொந்த மாற்ற வரலாற்றிலும் பதிவுசெய்யப்படுகிறது. அடிப்படைப் பொதுத் தரவு மாறும்போதெல்லாம் மதிப்பீடு புதுப்பிக்கப்படுகிறது.
| திகதி | பொருள் | மாற்றம் |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-16 | முறையியல் v1.4.2 | Clarified when dentist names count: a name published by the clinic counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register; a first name alone is not enough, nor is a first name with a patronymic where surnames are in use. Applied the same day to the clinics whose own channels name their dentists by first name only, which lose the points for dentist names. No other score changes. |
| 2026-10-15 | Danthaja Premium Dental Chambers | Re-read on 2026-10-15: the clinic's website (home, story, team, services, three specialty pages, dental tourism, packages, mobile unit and contact pages, and its online booking), its Google listing (reviews in four orders and its photos) and the PHSRC registers for 2023 to 2026.

Corrected: the consultation fee is published (3,500 LKR for a specialist, stated by the clinic on its Google listing on 2026-09-06); three of the five lowest reviews complain about cost. Still unverified: cone-beam CT. |
| 2026-10-15 | Dental Lounge | Re-read on 2026-10-15: the clinic's website (all 30 pages of its sitemap: home, about, contact, FAQ, booking, blog and 20 service pages) and its Google listing in four review orders.

Recorded: Google 4.4 from 153 reviews, newest 2026-10-05, owner replies continuing; genuine photos of the treatment room on the Google listing; no cone-beam CT among the listed facilities; its Facebook page. Corrected: the low reviews repeat two complaints, the dentist's manner and no doctor during stated hours. The website, the Google profile and the Facebook page name no dentist. Still unverified: the clinic's Facebook posts and a second Facebook page under the same name.

Corrections reported by anyone else are handled as before. No score changes. |
| 2026-10-05 | Dental One - Negombo | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 in 2 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2023-08-17 to 2026-07-30; 3.5 from 32): recurring complaints true. |

| 2026-09-29 | Align Dental Care - Ward Place | Corrected 2026-09-29: review count 106 (was 100) from the Google listing on 2026-09-29. |
| 2026-09-29 | Cayo Dental Hospital | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 1–2★ ratings are 34 of 135 and the low reviews themselves were not read. |
| 2026-09-29 | Dental One - Negombo | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 1–2★ ratings are 12 of 32 and the low reviews themselves were not read; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-07-30). |
| 2026-09-29 | Dental Square | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 3 reviews were checked for owner replies; review count 127 (was 108) from the Google listing on 2026-09-29. |
| 2026-09-29 | Dr. Dentium Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 7 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet; active Facebook presence now unverified: no Facebook search is on record, so the absence of a page is not established. |
| 2026-09-29 | Galle Dental | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 2 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet. |
| 2026-09-29 | Happy Dental Care Negombo | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 1–2★ ratings are 20 of 147 and the low reviews themselves were not read. |

| 2026-09-10 | Kandy Dental Surgery | Name-verification re-read 2026-09-10: Dr. H. M. U. P. Herath re-confirmed on the clinic's own already-cited specialist page; source accessedDate refreshed. |
| 2026-09-07 | Dental and Cosmetics by Dr Malinda Ekanayake | Close-out, 2026-09-07: the handle recorded as an unreachable Instagram account turns out to be a YouTube channel, and the channel is live — so onOtherPlatforms is answered with a positive rather than left null. |
| 2026-09-07 | Galle Dental | Automated recheck of the phone discrepancy I-5b flagged (listing +94 71 816 2739 against the card's +94 77 712 1068): galledental.lk/ and galledental.lk/contact/ fetched directly. The clinic's own dedicated contact page publishes +94 71 816 2739, matching the Google Business Profile; the site's global header/hero/footer CTA buttons still show +94 77 712 1068. contacts.phone moved to +94 71 816 2739 as the clinic's current, most-specific and independently corroborated publication; both numbers and sources are recorded on clearContacts. The clinic's Facebook page (web.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61571412280563) returned HTTP 400 to an automated client and could not be checked. |
| 2026-09-07 | Havelock Dental Center | Automated recheck of the open offersEmergency null: every URL in havelockdental.com's sitemap.xml plus five guessed emergency-specific paths were fetched directly. All sitemap URLs return HTTP 200 (all guessed paths 404); no automated-visible page text mentions emergency or urgent care, but the site's actual treatment content is client-rendered and invisible to a non-JS client, so this could not improve on the existing real-browser reading. offersEmergency stays null with the recheck recorded as sourceIds/note rather than converted to a guess. |
| 2026-09-07 | Kandy Dental Surgery | Automated recheck of the address discrepancy I-5b flagged (listing '31 Peradeniya Rd' against the card's 'No 29'): kandydentalsurgery.com/ and /contact.html fetched directly. Both pages still publish 'No 29, Peradeniya Road' identically, unchanged since 2026-09-04. Per the clinic's own current, internally consistent publication, address stays 'No 29'; the Google listing's and one AI-search answer's 'No 31' are recorded on clearContacts as the discrepancy, not adopted. |
| 2026-09-07 | முறையியல் v1.4.0 | Narrowed the "Opaque or bait pricing" red flag to what its published definition describes. Until now the flag was applied automatically to every clinic that does not publish a price list — a harsher statement than the evidence supports, since the catalogue defines the flag as complaints about final bills materially exceeding quoted prices, or advertised prices that are not honoured. Not publishing prices is already scored: it costs the clinic points in the price transparency category, and it is not, on its own, evidence of bait pricing. The automatic rule is removed, so the flag and its 2-point penalty come off about 1,300 clinic pages across the index; no clinic gains a flag, and no weight, severity or other scoring rule changed. The flag can still be recorded against a clinic by hand with cited sources, and about 210 clinics carry such an entry today; we are reviewing those entries in a follow-up pass, because some of them were also written for nothing more than an unpublished price list. |

| 2026-09-03 | முறையியல் v1.3.1 | Clarified that the publication criteria refer to the clinic’s own channels: a service list, the names of the dentists and a price list count when the clinic itself publishes them (its website, its social profiles or its own Google Business profile) — registers, directories and review sites do not, and a time-limited promotional offer is not a price list. Added a third state for a dentist’s licence, "checked, not found in the public register": a dentist we searched for in the national register and did not find is now recorded as checked-but-unverified with the date of the check, instead of being shown either as "not checked yet" or as the "not published" red flag. Neither change alters any weight or penalty; the red-flag rule still fires only on a verified negative. Also corrected the wording of the penalty note under the ranking table, which rendered as "20−" in right-to-left dictionaries. |
| 2026-08-25 | முறையியல் v1.3.0 | Corrected how the two licensing red flags are applied ("Clinic operating licence not published" and "Dentists / their licences not listed"). Previously they were applied whenever licensing data was absent from our records, which treated unchecked data as a negative finding — contrary to the methodology's own rule that unverified data is a fact about our coverage, not about the clinic. Both flags now apply only where we have verified that the information is not published. Manual licensing flags that rested on unverified data were removed from the affected clinics. No other scoring rules changed; most scores rise because the incorrect penalty is removed. |
| 2026-08-23 | முறையியல் v1.2.0 | Added an informational "Sedation & general anaesthesia" availability field to every clinic and a new "Sleep Dentistry (Sedation / GA)" list, for patients who cannot tolerate — or would rather not be awake for — treatment. This field is informational and does not change any transparency score. |
| 2026-07-08 | முறையியல் v1.1.0 | Added licensing transparency: clinics are now penalised when they do not publish their operating licence, or do not list their dentists together with their professional licence numbers. Each clinic page now shows a Licensing & Credentials section. |
