Patient dentition overview
When you create a new patient record, the patient starts with a standard dentition based on their age.
You can use the edit dentition mode to rearrange, add, and remove individual teeth in order to match your patient's changing dentition. To learn more, see Change a patient's dentition.
Starting dentition by age
All patients start with a standard dentition based on their age at the time their record was created.
- If a patient's age was entered incorrectly when their record was created, see Change a patient's dentition to learn how to reset it to a different age.
