Description
It is important to understand how certain charting scenarios will convert.
Steps
Note: Due to the complex nature of Data Conversion, and the varying level of detail contained in 3rd party software we convert from, we cannot always convert things the way one might expect. Here is what you need to know. Missing Teeth
- Because there is no procedure code to record when marking that a tooth simply does not exist, we cannot convert this. What this means is that any missing teeth will not convert and will show in Curve being present. You will need to mark the teeth missing as you find them.
Changed Dentition
- Just like Missing teeth, there is no procedure code to record when a tooth changes dentition. Because of this, we are unable to reflect this in the Chart. What this means is that any Dentition changes will not convert, and in Curve will show the tooth as being the dentition appropriate for the patients age. You will need to change the dentition as needed.
Note: There are some exceptions to this rule, but they are rare. You will be informed by your Implementation Coordinator or your Data Services Expert if you are one of these exceptions.
