Updated 10/4/2019 When you’re doing an exam, the easiest way to see a patient’s treatment history is by looking at the graphic chart. Every time you treatment plan or post procedures in the Patient Chart, the graphic chart displays those procedures visually according to a paint type. You can customize these paint types to display procedures in a way that shows you what you want to see and makes sense to your staff. For example, if you want crown procedures that you manufacture in-house on your new CAD/CAM machine to paint with a different paint type than a crown from the lab, you can customize the paint type for a D2740 crown and change the way it appears in the Patient Chart. To customize the way procedure codes appear in the Patient Chart: In the Office Manager, select Maintenance > Practice Setup > Procedure Code Setup. Expand the appropriate category in the procedure code list, select the procedure code you want to add to the procedure code list, and click Edit. Select a Paint Type from the drop-down list to indicate how Dentrix will paint the procedure on the tooth in the graphic chart. Click Save to save your changes and then click Close. Additional Information Changing the paint type of a procedure code is a global setting, which means it will change the way that procedure code looks on all computers in the office. If you want the code to remove the tooth from the Chart when it is posted complete, check the Remove Tooth option in the Procedure Code Editor dialog box. For more information on customizing paint types, see the Customizing Paint Types topic in the Dentrix Help.
