The single-screen perio chart can be customised per provider login, or providers can use the default settings.

Customising Single Screen Perio Charting

• Attachment level threshold.
• Recession data entry, this can be configured either after each pocket depth, after each quadrant, or after all pocket depths.
• Whether or not to include the eights in the progression around the mouth.
• The order of progression through all pieces of the dental arch: four quadrants, each with outside and inside.
• The direction of progression for each piece of the dental arch.

Accessing the Perio Configuration

1. On a patient record, open the Perio tab.
2. Click the configure button (spanner) on any perio screen.
   • This includes both the background (read-only) chart or in the add/edit perio chart.
     
3. The perio chart configuration has default presets which can be altered as outlined below.
   

   • Attachment level threshold when pocket depth and recession are recorded an attachment figure is calculated and automatically populates this field. 4 and over will be highlighted with a red colour to indicate that the threshold has been breached.

   • Enter recession data refers to the point at which EXACT automatically tabs over to recession. The default is after each pocket depth is recorded.

   • Tab order selectors, set the dropdown selectors to specify the order you want to proceed around the mouth. As you select a position for a quadrant, the quadrant that already has that position will swap over with the one you chose.

   • Direction, click the blue arrows to toggle their direction.

   • Skip the 8s, this is an option to remove the 8s from the tab order.
     If you do not routinely take the data for 8s, check the box to skip the 8s. When the cursor comes to the 8, whether the tooth is present or not, the cursor will move to the next tooth.
     You can manually click on an 8 to record data if you wish, even with this option in the field.
     If the Skip the 8s check box is selected, the blue arrows will shorten to indicate that the 8's are not included.
