1. Baseline: #
The Baseline module in CloudPital’s dental specialty facilitates comprehensive documentation of a patient’s current dental health status. It allows dental professionals to assess and record the condition of the patient’s teeth, gums, and oral cavity in a structured and detailed manner. This module is the foundation for tracking progress, planning treatments, and ensuring personalized care tailored to patients’ needs.
Teeth Representation:
- The screen displays a visual representation of a full set of teeth (both upper and lower arches).
- Each tooth is numbered according to the dental numbering system for easy identification.
Roots and Surfaces:
- Teeth are shown with their roots and surfaces. This detailed view helps dental professionals identify and document specific conditions affecting different parts of the teeth, such as decay, wear, or fractures.
Interactive Features:

- Dental professionals can specify details such as the tooth number, operation performed, ICD code, and ICD value in the table at the bottom.
