Assigning tooth numbers to images

After you acquire an individual image or a series or set of images, you can assign tooth numbers to the images or change the tooth numbers that are assigned to the images as needed.

To assign or change tooth numbers for images

1. Do one of the following:

   • Access a patient's image history, and view an intraoral X-ray, an intraoral photo, a CAD/CAM scan, a 3D volume, or a 2D snapshot of a 3D volume.

   • Acquire an individual or series of intraoral X-rays, an individual or set of intraoral photos, a CAD/CAM scan, or a 3D volume or snapshot.

   One of the following occurs:

   • For an individual intraoral X-ray, individual intraoral photo, CAD/CAM scan, or 3D snapshot, under Image Preview, there is only one thumbnail image. A larger version of the image appears in the viewing area.

     

     

     

     

   • For a 3D volume, under Image Preview, there is a thumbnail image of an axial slice of the volume. The Coronal, Sagittal, and Axial views of the volume appear in the viewing area.

     

   • For a series of intraoral X-rays or a set of intraoral photos, under Image Navigator, there are multiple thumbnail images. A larger version of the selected image (as indicated by the yellow box around the thumbnail) appears in the viewing area.

     

     

2. If you are viewing a series of intraoral X-rays or a set of intraoral photos, under Image Navigator, click (or tap) the thumbnail image that corresponds to the image for which you want to assign or change tooth numbers; otherwise, skip this step.

3. Click the Edit button .

   The Assign Tooth Numbers dialog box appears.

   

4. To change dentition, click (or tap) the Toggle primary/permanent link to show a tooth chart and the dentition buttons, select the applicable teeth, and then click (or tap) the Permanent or Primary button. Repeat this process as needed to change the dentition of other teeth. Then, click (or tap) the Back to assignment link.

   

5. Select the correct tooth numbers.

6. Click (or tap) Assign Teeth.

7. If you are viewing a series of intraoral X-rays or a set of intraoral photos, repeat steps 2-6 as needed to assign or change tooth numbers for other images.
