Whether the patient you have in the chair has all primary teeth, all permanent teeth, or mixed dentition, you want your charting software to show a true representation of each patient's mouth. To achieve this accuracy in a patient's clinical record, the Chart allows you to customize the dentition that appears on a patient-by-patient basis. You can quickly switch between primary and permanent dentition for all teeth at once or for selected teeth.
To change the dentition being displayed in the graphical chart
With a patient selected in Chart, if you are changing the dentition for a certain teeth, select those teeth. If you are changing the dentition for all teeth, you do not have to select any teeth.
On the Prim/Perm menu, click one of the following options:
Change All - Reverses the primary/permanent state for all teeth. For example, if all teeth have been changed to primary, and you click the Change All option, all the teeth in the mouth will change to permanent.
Change Selected - Reverses the primary/permanent state for the selected teeth in the graphical chart.
