Creating a Supernumerary service

To base chart a supernumerary tooth, you must first create a service to be charted.

1. Follow the help article Create / Add a new Service to create a service item called SUPER.
   
   • Set the Chart Graphic to Character, using either S/$ depending on what you would like to be displayed.

Base charting a Supernumerary tooth

Using the deciduous chart to indicate that an extra tooth is present is best if there is an extra tooth in the upper/lower 5-5 region (any tooth except molars).

You can activate the deciduous/dual chart screen, toggle the P/D switch on the left hand side of the tooth chart

Charting treatment on a supernumerary tooth

1. With a course of treatment open on a patients Chart tab, select treatment from your Service List by highlighting it, do not chart this yet.
2. Press and hold CTRL on your keyboard then left-click the tooth closest to the supernumerary tooth.
3. The charted treatment will appear on the course of treatment with an S following the selected tooth. The S denotes your supernumerary.
