Impactions

Post by fishdrzig »

On the 3D tooth chart, is there a way to show that a wisdom tooth is vertically impacted, i.e. not erupted and up in the bone?

In the chart module on the tooth chart, click on the tooth and highlight the wisdom tooth, click on "Movements" tab and then you will want to click on the minus (-) side of the "Occlusal" tab and you will see the tooth begin to move vertically. After clicking the minus sign a few times, the tooth turns dark gray indicating it is unerupted/impacted. If you have more than one wisdom tooth that is in the same position, you can highlight multiple teeth and accomplish the movement all at one time.

Very cool - I knew how to move the tooth vertically, but never experience the gray transformation. Jordan - we need that WIKI to find all of these little features!

Working on the wiki. It's a process. Have to get another server for the rack, install, configure, open ports, etc, etc.

Just out of curiosity, what software are you going to use for the wiki? Will users carry over from the forum to the wiki?
