Adding a New Screen Chart

Screen Charts are Sheet Field Types that can be added when using the Screening Layout. There are two tooth charts available. Each chart shows posterior teeth and can be set to show permanent or primary teeth.
- If no screen charts are currently on the sheet, ChartSealantComplete will insert first.
- ChartSealantComplete: To mark sealants that are complete.
- If ChartSealantComplete is already on the sheet, ChartSealantTreatment chart will insert, and vice versa.
- ChartSealantTreatment: To mark current tooth status including treatment needed.
- Only two charts are allowed per sheet.
Using Screen Charts
Only sealants marked on permanent teeth will automatically add a matching procedure code to the patient's chart.
When using a custom screening form that has a tooth chart, users can click on a tooth or tooth surface to select a code that represents tooth status or needed treatment. There are six code options and they are described in the Code legend on the internal screening sheet:
- S = Seal
- PS = Previously Sealed/Intact
- C = Caries
- F = Filled
- NFE = Not Fully Erupted
- NN = Not Needed
- None = remove a previously marked code.
Teeth 2, 3, 14, 15, 31, 30, 19, and 18 allow a code per surface. Users can mark a single surface or all.
When sealant procedures are marked on permanent teeth, a matching sealant procedure (D1351) is added to the patient's chart. Status of the procedure (treatment planned or complete) depends on which tooth chart the code is marked on. Surface information will be associated with the procedure, but not sent with claims.
Below is what the tooth charts look like on generated custom screening form. 'S' indicates teeth or tooth surfaces where a sealant code has been marked.
