Graphical Tooth Chart

In the upper left corner of the Chart module is the graphical tooth chart. This chart visually shows the patient's teeth, as well as Treatment that has been performed, is planned, or has been referred out and is color coded.

To select a tooth, click on it.  Click again to deselect it. Click and drag to quickly select multiple teeth.  See Enter Treatment.

To view a full screen version of the chart, in the Toolbar click the dropdown next to Tooth Chart, then Show Big.  This will display a large tooth chart. To save a snapshot of the chart as an image, click Save to Images.  View the image in the Images module under Tooth Charts. It will be named with the save date.  Snapshots are especially important for pedo offices to see history of tooth eruption.

Setup Options
The options you set in EZ2000 Plus Dental determine how the chart looks.

Tooth Numbering:  The default numbering system is set in Chart Module Setup, Tooth Nomenclature.   Procedures for supernumerary teeth do not show on the chart.

Set Primary/Permanent Teeth:  See Chart - Primary Teeth.

Missing or Hidden Teeth: See Chart - Missing Teeth.

Tooth Movement:  See Chart - Movement

Colors:  Colors are usually dependent on Procedure status (treatment planned, complete, existing other provider, existing current provider, referred, condition). To quickly see what colors are set for each status, click on the Draw tab. By convention, procedures that use metal are dark color whereas those that use ceramic, porcelain, or plastic are a light color.  In rare situations, a Procedure Code may have a color override. In these cases, color will not indicate status.

Customize status colors in Definitions, Chart Graphic Colors.  If you change colors, we recommend you also change the text color options in Prog Notes Colors to match.

Paint Types:  The graphic that shows is determined by the Paint Type and Treatment Area selected for the Procedure Code. 

Procedure Status:  The statuses that show depend on the settings in this Chart View.  See Chart - Show.

Freehand Drawing:  See Chart - Draw.

Troubleshooting
If you chart a procedure and it is not showing accurately on the tooth chart:
- Verify that the treatment area is accurate in Procedure Code Setup. Certain Paint Types require a specific Treatment Area.  
- See if Hide Graphics is checked for the Procedure, as this causes the procedure not to show on the chart.
- Verify that the procedure's status is viewed in this Chart View. See Chart - Show.
- If your tooth chart looks different, it could be due to graphic preferences.  These options can be selected by clicking File, Graphics.  For example, the Simple Tooth Chart looks like this:
