Dentrix includes 24 procedure buttons that you can use to quickly post procedures to a patient's chart. However, there is no limit to the number of procedure buttons that you can create and customize. You can assign each button to a procedure code, multi-code, or condition. In addition, the procedure button settings are computer specific, making it possible for you to customize the buttons according to the type of work performed in a specific room or operatory.
Note: Dentrix includes more than 80 charting icons that you can use to create your own procedure code buttons. You can also edit an icon's image, create a new one, or use text instead. However, you cannot assign more than one procedure code, multi-code, or condition to a single button.
