Of course because Patterson crashes if you look at it the wrong way. I dont believe OD will do more than 1 at a time.

Re: Intra Oral Camera MD-960U

You should be taking pics in your imaging software, not directly into OD. Then you should be able to take more than 1 at a time and it is stored just like xrays.

Re: Crown initial or replacement

Its unnecessary most of the time. Not something I need or want to chart. Certainly not enough for the pop up.

Maybe it should just default to initial and then you can change to replacement if necessary.
