Charting dentition

You can change the graphical tooth chart to show a patient's dentition: primary, permanent, or mixed.

Tip: You can also chart dentition while charting a quick exam.

To chart a patient's dentition

1. How to get there

   1. If the correct patient is not already selected, use the Patient Search box to access the patient's record.

      Note: You can include inactive patients in the search results by setting the Include inactive patients switch to On.

   2. On the Patient menu, under Clinical, click (or tap) Chart.

      The patient's clinical record opens with the Chart tab selected.

   On the Chart tab of a patient's clinical record, select the teeth whose dentition you want to change in the graphical tooth chart, or leave no teeth selected to change the dentition for the whole mouth (this is the same as selecting all the teeth).

   

2. Click (or tap) the Permanent Dentition or Primary Dentition button .

   All the selected teeth now show in the graphical chart according to the specified dentition. For example, changing the dentition to permanent changes tooth F to 9, or changing the dentition to primary changes tooth 15 to *.
