PeriodontalCharting

A six-point periodontal chart per tooth, per visit — pocket depths, bleeding, recession, mobility — compared with the last.

Installs with ChairSide, whose screen it works on

What it is

A periodontal chart taken at each visit and compared with the one before. Every tooth present has six sites — disto-, mid- and mesio-buccal and the three lingual or palatal — with the probing pocket depth, the recession (or an enlarged margin as a negative number), bleeding on probing, plaque and suppuration; each tooth has its mobility and furcation grade, or is marked missing. The dentist taps a tooth on the arch and enters its sites; the chart shows the depths on the arch with bleeding in red. Attachment level is worked out as depth plus recession, never typed. The summary gives the mean depth, the share of sites that bleed or carry plaque, and the count of sites in the depth bands the 2017 AAP/EFP classification uses (3 mm or less, 4–5 mm, 6 mm or more). Signing freezes the chart; the next visit’s chart is compared site by site with the last signed one, deepest change first, so a periodontal case shows whether treatment is reducing pockets. Staging and grading are the dentist’s own entry; the app does not compute them.

Questions clinics ask

What does PeriodontalCharting do?
A six-point periodontal chart per tooth, per visit — pocket depths, bleeding, recession, mobility — compared with the last. A periodontal chart taken at each visit and compared with the one before. Every tooth present has six sites — disto-, mid- and mesio-buccal and the three lingual or palatal — with the probing pocket depth, the recession (or an enlarged margin as a negative number), bleeding on probing, plaque and suppuration; each tooth has its mobility and furcation grade, or is marked missing. The dentist taps a tooth on the arch and enters its sites; the chart shows the depths on the arch with bleeding in red. Attachment level is worked out as depth plus recession, never typed. The summary gives the mean depth, the share of sites that bleed or carry plaque, and the count of sites in the depth bands the 2017 AAP/EFP classification uses (3 mm or less, 4–5 mm, 6 mm or more). Signing freezes the chart; the next visit’s chart is compared site by site with the last signed one, deepest change first, so a periodontal case shows whether treatment is reducing pockets. Staging and grading are the dentist’s own entry; the app does not compute them.
What data does PeriodontalCharting read and write?
PeriodontalCharting reads the patient record, the previous periodontal chart and writes periodontal charts, site readings per tooth, mobility and furcation per tooth. Its data class is Full PHI. Every app works on the same patient record — nothing is copied into a silo.
What does PeriodontalCharting deliberately not do?
It does not stage or grade periodontitis or decide treatment — the dentist does; it keeps the readings and shows the change. It does not replace ChairSide’s restorative tooth chart.
What happens to our data if we uninstall PeriodontalCharting?
Every chart is kept and can still be read and compared.
