Case History/Record Examination
|
The patient's case history can be opened from the patient input
form by clicking on the menu bar, View > Case history or by pressing button 6. The same
commands can also be found in other windows. Although the case history is particularly in-depth, overall, it is
easy to understand and use. More detailed information is provided later. |
Bolton Analysis |
Before
running the Bolton Analysis function, a plaster model image must be captured from the
scanner, click the "Calculate Bolton index" then follow the instructions as
indicated in the window shown here. NB: LC performs extremely accurate Bolton analysis, although you must first carefully locate the mesial and distal points for each dental feature otherwise the results will not be particularly reliable. You may find it useful to draw on the points, or better still, draw a black thread between the interdental spaces. |
The tracing background and plaster models are loaded
automatically in the image database section of the case history when you reply positively
to the questions presented when the Bolton analysis, anterior discrepancy calculation,
superimpose function or tracings on free backgrounds are started up. Other images can be
loaded be clicking the "Load picture" button, as and when may be required.
To delete an image, click the Delete button.
