Use the dental chart

The chart appears on patient records in dental clinics. Teeth are numbered 11 to 48 in FDI notation and each has five surfaces plus whole-tooth conditions such as crowns and extractions.

About 5 min

  1. 1

    Choose the clinic type

    The chart is shown when the clinic type is dental. Set it during setup or in Settings under Clinic settings.

  2. 2

    Open the Medical tab on a patient

    The chart shows the upper and lower jaw. Click a tooth to select it, then a surface.

  3. 3

    Mark a condition

    Pick the condition, from caries and filling to implant and missing, and its status: active, planned, treated or watch. Add a note if useful.

  4. 4

    Update as treatment happens

    When a planned filling is done, mark the finding treated. The history of the tooth keeps every entry with the date and the doctor.

  5. 5

    Price the work in a plan

    From the findings, create a treatment plan with items carrying the same tooth numbers, so the chart and the estimate agree.

Good to know

  • Dental notes have their own field on the medical profile, separate from general notes.
  • X-rays are uploaded as documents on the patient, next to the chart.
  • The chart is part of the patient's data export.
