Selecting script settings
Script settings dictate the sequential order of movement from tooth to tooth and the sequential order of movement through the probing areas of each tooth.
You can measure probing depths, gingival margin, clinical attachment level, or mucogingival junction using one of the six pre-defined scripts that come with Easy Dental.
To select script settings
1. In the Chart, select a patient.
2. In the Chart toolbar, click Perio Chart.
The Perio Chart window appears.
3. In Perio Chart toolbar, click Setup.
The Perio Entry Setup dialog box appears.
4. Under Script Settings, select the script that you want to use.

At the end of the arch, the script reverses direction, advancing from tooth 17 to 32 on the lingual side. Next, the script switches to the upper arch and advances from tooth 1 to 16 on the facial side. Finally, the script reverses again and moves from tooth 16 back to 1 on the lingual side.
Working with script 3
The third pre-defined script starts with tooth 1 on the facial side and advances from left to right from tooth 1 to 16.
