Charting dentition

You can change the graphical tooth chart to show a patient's dentition: deciduous, permanent, or mixed.

Tip: You can also chart dentition while charting a quick exam.

To chart a patient's dentition

How to get there

Use the Patient Search box to access a patient's record.
Notes:
- If the last patient record you accessed since you last logged on is the correct patient's record, you do not need to re-enter the patient's name in the Patient Search box.
- You can include inactive patients in the search results by setting the Include inactive patients switch to On.
On the Patient menu, under Clinical, click (or tap) Chart.
The patient's clinical record opens with the Chart tab selected.

On the Chart tab of a patient's clinical record, select the teeth whose dentition you want to change in the graphical tooth chart, or leave no teeth selected to change the dentition for the whole mouth (this is the same as selecting all the teeth).
Click (or tap) the Permanent Dentition or Deciduous Dentition button .
All the selected teeth now show in the graphical chart according to the specified dentition.
