Hi all,

How do I get a Procedure Button to distinguish between Maxillary/Mandibular, AND the number of teeth involved?

For our partial dentures we have 4 different procedures per arch, with different prices. They are: up to 2 units, 3-4 units, 5-9 units, and more than 10 units. All eight procedures are marked Treatment area = tooth range, the autocode for Partial Denture ties each procedure with Maxi or Mandi (hope I'm not inspiring someone to name their kids here) and that works fine. When I select a range of teeth e.g. 3 uppers, and click on the Procedure Button, the procedure for 5-9 uppers appears.

Any thoughts?
cheers

As best as I can remember, we do not yet have that level of automation. You would create two different procedure buttons, one for upper and one for lower.

Thanks Jordan, could you explain how I can do that, I've tried a few ways with and without autocodes, but can't figure it out.

Set up 4 simple procedure buttons, each using a single procedure code and no autocode.

Great, thank you!
