You can select multiple teeth and chart probing depth, clinical attachment level, and bleeding with a single mouse click.
To select multiple teeth during an exam
Note: If this is the selected patient's first perio exam, a new perio exam opens and the Data Chart is blank. If you saved a previous perio exam for the selected patient, that exam appears in the Data Chart. To save time, you can change only those measurements that have changed since the previous exam. When you save your changes, a new exam is created with the current date, and both the changes you made and the unchanged measurements from the previous exam are saved.
2. From the Script Selection list in the toolbar, click Dentrix Default Script.
3. Click the upper-left corner of the Data Chart, and then drag the mouse pointer to the right.
A dotted-line rectangle appears, the selected tooth numbers change appearance, and yellow rectangles indicate PD and Bld.
Note: Alternatively to select multiple teeth, you can press the Ctrl key, and then click the desired tooth numbers.
4. Under Tooth Information, enter a value for probing depth (PD), and if bleeding is present, click Bld.
The probing depth measurement, clinical attachment level, and the bleeding indicator appear for all the selected teeth.
5. To change the probing depth and/or the bleeding indication for a tooth, select the desired tooth, and then under Tooth Information, do the following:
· Type the desired PD measurement.
Note: The CAL measurement changes automatically to match the PD measurement.
· Click the Bld indicator to clear the bleeding icon in the Data Chart.
