The odontogram

The odontogram shows the patient’s teeth and everything noted on them: caries, fillings, crowns, missing teeth. It is the first tab of the patient’s screen for the medical team, and Digiodent saves each tap straight away.

Note caries

1. Tap the tooth, on the odontogram.
2. Tap the decayed surface, for example Occlusal.
3. Also tap the other decayed surfaces, for example Distal.

Now on the tooth shows the caries and its surfaces. Another tap on the same surface notes a filling, then recurrent caries.

Note a crown, a missing tooth or another finding

1. Tap the tooth, on the odontogram.
2. Tap the finding: Not Present, Crown, Root Canal, Retained Root, Fracture or, under More, the others.

The finding shows in Now on the tooth and on the tooth’s drawing.

Note one finding on several teeth

1. Tap the brush, in the bar on the left.
2. Choose the finding, for example Sealant.
3. Tap the teeth, on the odontogram.
4. Tap All done.

The finding is noted on each tooth you tapped.

Take back a finding noted today

1. Tap the tooth, on the odontogram.
2. Tap the finding again, until it leaves Now on the tooth.

The finding taken back stays in the history, among the Voided findings. One from another day can no longer be taken back: a treatment or a new finding changes it, for example No Pathology.

See a tooth’s history

1. Tap the tooth, on the odontogram.
2. Tap History, at the top of the tooth’s panel.

The story of the tooth shows, in order, what was noted and done on the tooth, then what the plans have next.
