Perio Charting

It is important to note that any changes made to the initial exam that is displayed upon opening of the Perio Chart, will modify/update for that indicated date.

To create a new Perio Chart Entry for the current day, you will want to select the '+' to Create from Scratch or the 'Clone' to Copy the most recent exam.

Example: If upon opening, and immediately begin entering probing depths, change the date, or provider: this exam would update the 'newly entered' probing depths, the exam date of 8/22/23 indicated in the image below would no longer exist (if the date was changed), as would a different provider displayed, if another was selected.

If a perio chart exam contains entries for a marker, that another user has enabled as 'off'; a display warning message will surface at the top of the exam page as seen below.
