What is socket selection?

Socket selection can be used by clicking on a tooth and selecting the correct tooth status from the drop down menu. Using this during the base charting process allows you to quickly update the status of a tooth.

How do I use socket selection?

  • Navigate to the desired patients chart.

  • Hover around a root or the grey line above or below a tooth if root view is disabled.

  • Click on this area and you will be presented with drop down list of available tooth statuses.

  • From here you can choose the required tooth status from the socket selection drop down list.
