Is there a graphic(icon) for veneer,or implant?

Actually I thought I saw another post saying they had several different (icons) for procedures. Are you talking about the icon next to the Quick button or are you talking about the paint graphic on the teeth graphics?

Yup, I also noticed there was no Chart Graphic for implant abutment D6057 and D6056.
Wasn't there a graphic for these codes on earlier versions?

If a graphic is not showing up for a specific procedure just go to Lists>Procedure Codes and find the code double click on the description and it will bring up a window with a column called Paint Type you have to select one for that procedure if that is selected that check Treatment Area to make sure it is specifiying a tooth or surface depending on what graphic you are using.

Our implant graphic looks good, especially if you override its color to gray. We do not have a graphic for veneers for complicated technical reasons.

We've looked in the procedure edit window
under Implant "Abutment" D6057.

Doesn't seem like it has a separate 'paint type'.
So when we select paint type "Implant"
It's as if we have no tx plan for the abutment,
Only the graphic for the implant shows.

Are we missing something?


We also do a considerable # of night guards.
is it possible to do a simple graphic or symbol for this?
Maybe just the letters OG (occlusal Guard) in any corner would suffice.
Color changes with the status of the tx.

(Similarly, a simple letter "L" on the buccal to indicate laminate instead of a complicated graphic.)

Thanks again.

why not just make it default to gray if that one looks best? just curious

There's no graphic for an abutment, just the implant itself.

I use the paint type for PostBU for my implant abutment. Seems to work fine.
