Anatomy

Anatomy Overview

The Anatomy module is used to set up and manage the visual dental chart for your clinic. It allows you to define the different parts of the mouth, such as specific teeth (e.g., Molars, Incisors) and their individual surfaces, so they display correctly when charting a patient's dental records.

When Do I Use This?

• When your clinic is first setting up the Minerva system and you need to configure the dental chart.
• When you need to add a new visual representation for a specific tooth or mouth structure.
• When you want to hide (deactivate) an anatomy graphic that your clinic no longer uses in patient charts.

How To Use

Adding a New Tooth or Anatomy Part

1. Go to Dentistry → Anatomy from the main menu.
2. Click the + New button.
3. Enter the Name of the tooth (e.g., "First Molar").
4. Provide a short Description of the anatomy part.
5. Enter the visual drawing codes into the Paths field. (Note: This is usually provided by your IT team or copied from an existing template).
6. Ensure the Active box is checked so doctors and nurses can see it on the chart.
7. Click Save.

Deactivating an Anatomy Part

If you no longer want a specific tooth graphic to appear on your charting screens, simply open the record, uncheck the Active box, and click Save.
