📝 Please Note - This is our recommended way to setup your chart. Condensed charting + Mixed Dentition = faster, clearer charting and optimises screen space.
What is mixed dentition?
Mixed dentition refers to patients who have a combination of baby (deciduous) and adult (permanent) teeth. Dentally’s new charting tools are designed to make this process simpler and more intuitive.
How do I chart with mixed dentition?
Open chart preferences by clicking the cog ⚙️ icon next to your chart.
Enable Condensed view, This shows the chart in 2 rows (instead of 4), combining base and planned treatments.
Turn on 'Root view' this makes it easier to distinguish between permanent and baby teeth as well as being able to see any root charting.
Enable the 'Mixed dentition' this overlays permanent and deciduous teeth together in one streamlined view.
💡 Top Tips:
Use Predictive Dentition for new patients
Automatically shows the expected dental state based on age — no manual chart setup needed. You can easily undo or adjust with socket selection.Quickly edit tooth status
If any tooth status is incorrect or if you make a mistake, use socket selection to easily amend both permanent and deciduous teeth as needed (such as changing an unerupted tooth to partially erupted).Toggle PD/DD visibility
Use the ‘PD’ or ‘DD’ buttons to hide/show each tooth type as needed for clarity when charting and reviewing treatment.
