What is socket selection?
Socket selection can be used by clicking on a tooth and selecting the correct tooth status or diagnosis from the drop down menu. Using this during the base charting process allows you to quickly update the status of a tooth or a diagnosis.
How to use socket selection?
Navigate to the desired patients chart.
Click on a tooth to be presented with socket menu.
From here you can choose the required tooth status or diagnosis from the socket selection drop down list and even preview any images associated to that tooth if using Dentally Vision.
This dropdown will also show the current status of that permanent tooth, indicated by a tick against the status.
Once you select a new status or diagnosis the tooth icon on the graphical chart will change accordingly.
💡 Top Tip: Updating the status of teeth using this method can be carried out alongside the normal base charting or even while treatment planning!
