Perio exam notes consist of the measurements taken during a general periodontal exam, including information about the gingiva, oral hygiene, and X-rays. By default, the measurement values of perio exam notes are set to those of a normal, healthy mouth.
You can change the values to a perio note while performing a periodontal examination, or you can create custom templates for conditions common to a group of patients, such as smokers.
