Space Maintainer Graphic

Post by EagleRidge » Mon May 24, 2021 10:15 am

Recently updated to 20.5.54 which includes graphics for space maintainers. Cool.
Patient today had 2 unilateral SM's but has since lost those and has permanent teeth. Yet, those 2 SM graphics still show on the chart. Looks like a line over each of those permanent teeth. How do I remove these graphics without deleting the record of us placing the SM's?

It's designed to not ever draw in the same space where a tooth already exists. As soon as you fill that space with a permanent tooth by any means, it should disappear. Or, you could edit the procedure and check the box for Hide Graphics. What tooth number is the space maintainer assigned to? I'm especially interested if it's a primary or permanent tooth number.

Teeth #4/A and #13/J.

Hiding the graphics took care of my concern. Thanks.
