Treatment plans may be “drawn” in the charting module. Anything indicated in the graphic charting module will also appear in the analog treatment plan screen through the icon, or through the word “Transactions” and the “Treatment Plan” option. Likewise, any procedure indicated in the analog treatment plan screen will show in the graphic module.
In the patient window, users may access the restorative charting section in two ways –

(2) Click the white crown tooth icon in the picture toolbar
The Pre-Existing tab is the default presentation in the restorative charting screen. To access the Treatment Plan section, click the tab “Treatment Plans”.
Treatment plans can be designed in (1) plans, (2) phases, and (3) order by indicating an appropriate number in the “Tx Plan ID”, “Phase ID”, and “Order ID” fields. If a procedure’s should need to be changed regarding the ID numbers once the procedure has been entered, it is easiest changed in the analog Treatment Plan. The analog Treatment Plan may be accessed through the icon, or through the word “Transactions” and the “Treatment Plan” option.
There are four tooth areas for selection. The button selections on the right will change according to the tooth area selected.
o A whole tooth may be selected by clicking on the white area outside the drawing of the tooth. Selections for whole tooth related procedures are indicated on the buttons.
o Roots may be selected by clicking on a root of a tooth. If the tooth has more than one root, a popup window will ask if the user wishes to fill in all the roots of the selected tooth. Selections for root related procedures are indicated on the buttons.
o Crowns may be selected by clicking on the crown area of a tooth. Selections for crown related procedures are indicated on the buttons.
o Surfaces may be selected by clicking on the desired surface area of a tooth. Selections for whole tooth related procedures are indicated on the buttons.
Click on the desired tooth area. Choose the category of treatment. Indicate the desired material. A popup window appears in which the user may select the specific procedure.
Multiple selections of the same tooth area may be indicated provided the final selection is also the same. Example: if gold crowns are planned for teeth 15 and 18, the crowns of those teeth may be clicked at the same time. Once highlighted by a frame around the tooth, the Crown button may be selected, and the desired material and ADA procedure may be chosen.
If an indicated treatment has an option to indicate a specific material, a dropdown selection box will appear. The user should select the material that is presented in the patient’s dentition.
Indicated treatment plan procedures are drawn in the tab’s color. The conditions are listed in the analog list at the bottom of the screen.
For procedures that are not drawable, the user may click the ADA Codes button and indicate the desired procedure.
Treatment plans can be designed in (1) plans, (2) phases, and (3) order by indicating an appropriate number in the “Tx Plan ID”, “Phase ID”, and “Order ID” fields.
If a condition should be deleted, the user may highlight the entry in the analog list and click the Delete button.
