Using the Procedure Codes Toolbar

The Procedure Codes toolbar commands enable you to chart common procedures and post recall and explosion codes. When you select these toolbar commands, the corresponding procedure code is selected based on the number of surfaces or roots you have selected on the chart.

Example:Example:If you click the amalgam button and then select two surfaces on a tooth, the procedure code for a two-surface amalgam is automatically selected. If a procedure encompasses multiple codes (like veneers), when you select the button a list from which you can specify the code is displayed.

In addition, when you chart more than one instance of certain procedures, each is coded correctly.

Example:Example:The first time you chart an apicoectomy, the code to indicate the first root is automatically selected; when you chart the second apicoectomy, the correct code for each additional root is automatically selected.

You can also select an ADA or transaction code from the ADA drop-down list located at the top of the toolbar.
