So when a new (or exisiting) patient comes in with an open margin, I will scribble that area in red or magenta(using my wonderful artistic ability). It's on the tabbed list at the top of the treatment plan box. One of the ways I handle this is by using the 'Draw' function. If I erase the painted periapical lesion will OD remember that the paint was saved there in the past? (thinking ahead to someday when there is a slider bar to run thru past charts on a certain date).or do I need to save an image of the chart to document what I charted? Now in the future after the tooth is treated etc. but there is no different color choice that I can use so conditions stick out right?.Can I define my own paint color type like create a paint type called caries? Can I somehow make a paint color that consists of red slash lines so It stands out on the chart as something being wrong that needs treatment? and even better can I make white slash lines that can be superimposed over say an amalgam restoration to show that it also has caries?ģ) So once I have my code set up is there a way I can have some quickbutton on the chart screen to chart caries or do I need to go thru the procedure code list and hunt for my code for every tooth if 10 teeth have caries?Ĥ) So If I chart caries on the graphical chart then post a restoration on the tooth will OD know to overlay the filling over the caries color? (assuming that the caries were charted on an earlier date)ĥ) similiar to Question #2 can I make a different paint color for open margins?Ħ) If I want to show a periapical lesion I guess I can use the drawing tool to draw a red circle at the apex of the root.

I want to chart conditions on the graphical chart.Can someone teach me how to with a dummies guide explanation? I saw in the OD manual to set up a dummy procedure code.ġ) This is the list where all the American Dental Association Codes are stored right?Ģ) So then I have to choose a paint type but my choices are the paint types for extractions, filling dark, rct, filling light etc.

I am only playing with a trial verison (soon to make the leap to a full OD user).
