The following eight tooth navigation scripts are available in the Perio Chart:
· CAL Back - Navigates the clinical attachment level from the left, to the center, to the right surfaces of each tooth.
· CAL Forward - Navigates the clinical attachment level from the right, to the center, to the left surfaces of each tooth.
· GM Back - Navigates the gingival margin from the left, to the center, to the right surfaces of each tooth.
· GM Forward - Navigates the gingival margin from the right, to the center, to the left surfaces of each tooth.
· MGJ Back - Navigates the mucogingival junction from the left, to the center, to the right surfaces of each tooth.
· MGJ Forward - Navigates the mucogingival junction from the right, to the center, to the left surfaces of each tooth.
· PD Back - Navigates the probing depth from the left, to the center, to the left surfaces of each tooth.
· PD Forward - Navigates the probing depth from the right, to the center, to the left surfaces of each tooth.
You cannot edit or delete these scripts; however, you can create custom tooth navigation scripts or copy the default scripts, and then edit or delete the copies.
