CareStack’s Perio Charting feature offers the ability to document the periodontal factors affecting patients' oral health. This comprehensive approach enables a thorough assessment of the patient's periodontal health, facilitating tailored treatment plans.

Let's explore how we can achieve this setup both at a User and System level.
Set up Perio Chart at Practice Level
- Navigate to the System Menu > select Practice Settings.
- On the left-hand side panel, under Clinical > select Perio Chart.
Click Edit to set your preferences.
Address the following settings as needed:
Perio Chart Settings: Edit the general perio chart settings, like on which site(s) pocket depth, gingival margin, etc. are to be marked, whether mobility and furcation should be marked, whether editing of the perio chart should be possible (only available on the same day), etc.
Select Depth levels (in mm): Set colour-coded alert points on the perio-chart depth.
Default Clinician Settings: Set the default clinician settings, including enabling auto advance (this functionality in the perio chart lets users simply enter the depth information, and it automatically switches to the next tooth), allowing perio readings and parameters to auto-advance.
Choose your Direction of Probing, which allows users to decide the direction in which the auto-advance and probing should be.
Select data display preference: Establish probing with a bar, line graph, or both with measurements.
- Parameters to Copy from Previous Exam: Select the parameters that should be copied from a previous exam.
- Ensure to click Save once done.
A toast notification will appear on the top right stating, 'Periodontal Settings updated successfully'.
Set up Perio Chart at User Level
Navigate to the System Menu > select Practice Clinicians.
Click Edit for the row of the clinician you want to modify.
On the Clinician Preference modal that appears,
- Set the Clinician Preference (Perio Preferences, Selected Direction of Probing and Other Preferences).
- Once completed, click Save.
A toast notification will appear on the top right stating, 'Clinician Settings updated successfully'.
| Note: The default preference that you set under Clinical (System Menu > Practice Settings > Clinical > Perio Chart) will serve as the standard. However, if the user modifies it within the clinician preference settings (System Menu > Practice Clinicians), then the customised preference of the user will take precedence over the default preference. |
Practices can use this article to set up the Perio Chart at a practice/user level.
