Perio Graphical Chart
After your perio data has been entered, the Perio Graphical Chart can be displayed.  There are four display modes, as seen on View tab in the lower right of the screen. You can display the Full Mouth Data Entry Grid, which is the default. You can display the Full Mouth Perio Graph. You can also display a split screen that displays the grid and graph together for either the upper or lower.

The Graph Settings tab controls what appears on the graph. Five categories can be displayed on the graph.

• Pocket Depth (PD) is seen as bars. The bars are green if they are up to 3 mm. Pocket Depth bars over 3 mm are red.
• Gingival Margin (GM) is a magenta line.
• Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) is seen as a blue line.
• Mucogingival Junction (MGJ) is seen as a brown line.
• Attached Gingival (AG) is seen as a translucent yellow band, since it isn’t just a location, but a thickness.

These categories can be turned on and off by clicking the associated checkbox under the Graph Settings tab.

Perio Reports
Perio Reports can be displayed on screen or printed. To access the reports, click the Compare Exams button. This will open the Perio Exam/Reports Selection screen where you are given four choices that are discussed below.

Graphical Comparison Chart
The Graphical Comparison Chart displays the perio graph with the option of displaying up to three exam dates simultaneously. The default is to show the last three exams but this can be customized as you desire. You can pick one of four possible categories to compare. These categories are: Gingival Margin (GM), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), Mucogingival Junction (MGJ), or Attached Gingival (AG). The color of the category line (or band in the case of AG) is determined by the date of the exam. Each of the three exam dates are assigned a color. The first date selected is blue, the second is red, and the third is green.
