Rayan FaroukIn dentistry, accurate periodontal recording is more than just documentation—it’s a vital part of patient care. Periodontal charts help you assess gum health, track disease progression, and create targeted treatment plans for your patients. Whether you’re a general dentist or a periodontist, understanding and using this chart effectively can make a significant difference in your daily clinical workflow.
At Balsam Medico, our goal has always been to simplify how clinics manage patient information. The Periodontal Chart in Balsam Medico is designed to give you a clear, visual, and interactive way to record gum and bone health while maintaining compliance with UAE healthcare standards.
What Is a Periodontal Chart?
A periodontal chart is a detailed visual representation of a patient’s gum and supporting structures. It includes measurements such as:
- Pocket depths around each tooth
- Gingival margins and recession
- Bleeding and plaque scores
- Furcation involvement
- Mobility
These readings allow you to evaluate the severity of periodontal disease and compare results across visits. In short, it’s your go-to tool for monitoring gum health and making informed treatment decisions.
Why the Periodontal Chart Matters in UAE Clinics
For clinics in the UAE, periodontal documentation is not only good practice—it’s also a sign of professionalism and quality patient care. Patients expect precision, and authorities like NABIDH emphasize accurate clinical records for both safety and accountability.
By using Balsam Medico’s Periodontal Chart, you can ensure:
- Consistency in diagnosis across multiple visits or doctors.
- Compliance with DHA and MOHAP documentation standards.
- Better patient education, as you can visually show the patient their gum condition and progress.
When a patient can see where their gum pockets have improved or worsened, it strengthens trust and encourages adherence to treatment and home care.
How the Periodontal Chart Works in Balsam Medico
Balsam Medico’s Periodontal Chart is fully integrated within the patient’s dental record. Here’s how it enhances your workflow:
- Simple Tooth Navigation:
Each tooth is displayed in a visual format, allowing you to click directly on the tooth you’re examining. You can record measurements for six points per tooth (mesiobuccal, mid-buccal, distobuccal, mesiolingual, mid-lingual, and distolingual) with ease. - Automatic Data Storage:
Every entry you make is automatically saved under the patient’s record. There’s no need for separate paper charts or external files—everything stays within Medico’s secure, cloud-based platform. - Color-Coded Indicators:
To make your readings clearer, pocket depths and bleeding sites are color-coded. This visual aid helps you instantly identify problem areas without reading through every measurement. - Progress Tracking:
You can compare charts across multiple visits to track improvements or deterioration. This feature is especially useful for patients undergoing scaling, root planing, or periodontal maintenance programs. - Doctor Collaboration:
Multiple dentists in the same clinic can view and update the same chart. This ensures continuity of care—especially useful in multi-specialty practices or clinics with visiting periodontists.
Making Patient Communication Easier
One of the standout benefits of using the Periodontal Chart in Balsam Medico is how it enhances communication. Instead of explaining gum pockets in abstract numbers, you can show your patient their chart and walk them through it visually.
Patients appreciate transparency. When they understand the seriousness of their gum health—because they can see it—they’re more likely to follow your recommendations, return for maintenance visits, and take oral hygiene more seriously.
Seamless Integration with Other Features
The Periodontal Chart in Balsam Medico doesn’t stand alone—it connects smoothly with other clinical tools within the system. You can link your chart findings directly to:
- Treatment plans for scaling, surgery, or follow-up care.
- Clinical notes for accurate and quick documentation.
- Follow-up reminders to ensure consistent patient monitoring.
This integration minimizes duplication, reduces human error, and keeps your patient’s entire history in one secure record.
