As Supernumerary teeth are additional to the regular number of teeth they require special charting to be charted.

To chart a supernumerary tooth, you must first create a Supernumerary service.

Base Charting a Supernumerary Tooth

It is advisable to use the deciduous chart to indicate that an extra tooth is present if it is in the upper/lower 5-5 region (any tooth except molars).

1. With your Patient file open on their Chart tab.
2. Select the Base tab.
   • Locate and select your Supernumerary service.
3. Toggle your to deciduous if necessary using the deciduous/dual chart screen by toggling the P/D switch on the tooth chart
4. Hold Control/CTRL on your keyboard then click on the tooth closest to the Supernumerary tooth.
5. If required you can select the service in the yellow charted section under the Base Charting heading to add any notes.

Charting Treatment on a Supernumerary Tooth

1. With a course of treatment open on a patient's Chart tab, select treatment from your Service List by highlighting it, do not chart this yet.
2. Hold Control/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.
   • The only issue that may occur with this is that the treatment will be charted on the nearest tooth which can cause problems (e.g. extracting a front tooth when it was the supernumerary, not the front tooth).

      

   • Charting the treatment on a deciduous tooth should not cause any issues in most instances. This method cannot be used for Scottish or Nothern Irish NHS practices, however, English and Welsh practices can use this method.
