We all have individual tastes and preferences, which might include how
you conduct perio exams. Dentrix gives you the flexibility to create
customized perio navigation scripts to match how you record data during
perio exams — from tooth to tooth.

Additional Information
While you cannot edit or delete scripts that come preloaded with
Dentrix, you can create custom scripts tailored to your charting
methods, which you can also edit and delete. You can also copy and
export these scripts to a file to import them to another workstation.
Customized scripts can be named for the specific provider who created
them or any name that works best for your practice and/or providers.
For example, you can create a script that only measures the probing
depths and gingival margins and name it “PD & GM”.
When you select a script on that workstation, the workstation will
remember that script until it is changed on the same workstation.
The term “left” and “right” refer to the distal and mesial surfaces,
respectively, from the provider’s perspective.
You can list tooth numbers separately when creating a script. If you
do, separate the tooth numbers with commas. If you enter a range of
tooth numbers, use a hyphen to separate the ranges.
You can also create custom scripts that do NOT perform automatic
calculations. While editing the script, change the Automatic
Calculation menu to No Calculation.
