Missing/Primary Teeth

Easily mark teeth as missing or show primary teeth on the Graphical Tooth Chart.

In the Chart Module, click the Missing/Primary tab.

Missing Teeth

Missing or hidden teeth are recorded at the patient's first visit, before entering treatment. This information is required when submitting claims and allows proper selection of pontics for bridges. Teeth marked as missing are not displayed on the Graphical Tooth Chart and are marked skipped by default creating a Perio Chart.

Set Selected Teeth: Click teeth from the Graphical Tooth Chart to highlight before clicking a button. Multiple teeth can be selected at once. Click and drag to quickly highlight multiple teeth.

Edentulous: Mark all teeth as missing at once.

Unhide: Highlight a tooth number from the list and click to display the tooth number on the Graphical Tooth Chart again. If the tooth was previously marked Missing, select the tooth from the Graphical Tooth Chart and click Not Missing to display tooth graphics.

Primary Teeth

By default, the Graphical Tooth Chart shows permanent teeth. However, teeth can be set as primary or mixed dentition.

Set Selected Teeth: Click teeth from the Graphical Tooth Chart to highlight before clicking a button. Multiple teeth can be selected at once. Click and drag to quickly highlight multiple teeth.

Set All Primary: Set all teeth currently on the tooth chart as primary.

Set All Permanent: Set all teeth currently on the tooth chart as permanent.

Set Mixed Dentition: Change the tooth chart to show a combination of primary and permanent teeth (8 - 12 year olds).
