Charting an Implant Bridge

[jdowner]

correct, since those codes have to be done through a custom button on the chart, it will not bring up the same pop up options that the main bridge button does.  

If a system defined button is created by development for a future version of PracticeWorks, they would be able to make it behave similar to the Bridge button. 

Would that be more of what you had in mind?

Here's what our charting looks like for implant bridges and the associated codes that we have populated to choose from.  Does that help?

From a user-friendly perspective, where the buttons work in a consistent manner (regular bridge vs implant bridge), that would make sense so please tag the appropriate person to initiate a suggestion for a future update. 

Thank you for monitoring the discussions for our feedback. We all appreciate it.

Thank you Sonya.  That helps.  I'm going to try that out this weekend...

Couple of follow up questions:
1. What is/are the "primary entries" with that button?
2. Do you chart extraction/missing tooth separately if part of the tx plan?

[sonyap]

1) I do not have any "primary entries" with this button.

2) Yes

Thanks again. Is there any reason why we can't tack on an implant and extractions as optional procedures that can be checked off when applicable?
