Periodontal conditions may be “drawn” in the charting module.
In the patient window, users may access the periodontal charting section in two ways –
(1) Click the word “Charting” and choose the desired chart option from the drop-down box – “Perio Chart”
(2) Click the blue crown tooth icon in the picture toolbar
The measurement area is indicated by white text in the measurement button, and the button appears embossed into the screen.
The tooth area being measured is indicated by a blue highlight bar.
To more the highlight bar forward, the user may click the button on the right for the appropriate number value. The highlight bar will auto-advance through the dentition chart. The numerical value will appear in the analog grid at the bottom of the screen.
The drawing indicator is shown in the left portion of the measurement button.
Defaults may be set through the Setup button.
