Colour Coding
Varies among practitioners/software
Existing condition (something that was done prior to this dental visit) may be charted in BLUE and conditions requiring future treatment in RED
Fillings that have been completed: filled in with BLUE if amalgam restoration, filled in with GREEN (or LIGHT TAN) if composite restoration
If a restored tooth requires a new restoration, the pertinent area is outlined in the colour corresponding to the material of the intended restoration
Charting Symbols
Used to represent a visual picture of the restoration or dental condition, varies depending on the EMR software used. Please look at the chart on pages 8-9 to find some common charting symbols.
