Entering perio measurements

In Easy Dental, you can take measurements using any of six predefined scripts. These scripts indicate which measurements (PD, GM, CAL, and so forth) are recorded and in what order. The script settings also determine how to advance automatically through Perio Chart. You can enter perio measurements using a keyboard, mouse, or light pen.

To enter a perio measurement

1.   In the Chart, select a patient.

2.   In the Chart toolbar, click Perio.

The Perio Chart window appears.

Note: If a patient has a previous perio exam in the system, Easy Dental automatically loads that exam as a reference. You can save time by entering only the measurements that have changed since the last exam.

3.    If necessary, from the Perio Chart toolbar, click Setup, and then select the script settings that match your charting style.

4.   As appropriate, from the Perio Chart toolbar, click New Exam or Open Exam.

5.   Type or click to enter measurements.

Easy Dental advances automatically through the data chart according to your script settings. To enter information not included in the script, use your mouse and the Perio Chart controls.
