Periodontal charting overview

You can view periodontal charting measurements in two ways. Graphically on the Periodontal Odontogram and numerically in the Perio Data Entry window.

The Perio Data Entry window allows you to record and review all periodontal measurements from one screen. Values entered here are represented visually on the Periodontal Odontogram.
