Original Perio Charting

EXACT has 2 different Perio functionalities. The basic/original Perio and the advanced https://soeidental.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PHS/pages/302186925 Information on how to enable can be found here - https://soeidental.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PHS/pages/892502665

To access Perio examinations you need to open a patient file and click on the Perio tab.

From here you can view extensive periodontal charting for the patient including:

  • Pockets

  • Recession

  • Bleeding

  • Mobility

  • Plaque

  • Suppuration

  • Furcation.

Previously saved Perio Charts are listed on the upper left-hand pane in the order they were taken, and can be viewed, edited (only on the day created), and/or printed. If the patient file window is wide enough (larger display resolutions required), additional layout options will be made available:

  • The 'Separate tabs' layout (the default) places the upper, lower, and plaque/bleeding charts in separate tabs.

  • The 'Combined Upper/Lower' tabs option puts the upper and lower charts into one tab together, and leaves the plaque/bleeding chart in its own tab.

  • The 'All Combined' option puts the upper, lower, and plaque/bleeding charts all together on the same screen.

Some or all of these layout options may not be available if the Patient File window is not wide enough, or if the magnification option is on.

Creating and editing a Perio Chart

  1. Click the +1 (Add) button at the bottom of the Perio pane (centre left of the tab) to open the Add Perio Chart window:

  2. Enter a title for the chart. Examples of common charts are:

    • Initial Examination: 1st Measurement

    • Periodic: Annual Examination

    • Recall: Maintenance

  3. Follow the instructions on the screen to enter the correct values for:

    • Palatal Pocketing

    • Gum Recession and Mobility

    • Buccal Pocketing

    If you want to chart a pocket greater than 9, select followed by the number. 
    For example, a pocket of 10mm would be recorded as +0 and a pocket of 12mm as +2; this number would appear as a blue digit on the chart. Example;

    Mark any areas of Furcation and the severity by clicking on the triangles marking the areas. Click once (Grade 1), twice (Grade 2), or three times (Grade 3). Click a fourth time to remove furcation.

    Mark any areas of Bleeding similarly by selecting the location and pressing the B key .
    To enter an overgrowth value, press the Minus key  followed the number e.g. –3 to show an overgrowth of 3mm.
    To remove pocketing, recession, or mobility, highlight the value and press the Space bar .
