Orthodontics Module: #
The Orthodontics Module in Cloudpital is designed to assess and document patients’ orthodontic needs comprehensively. It includes the ability to record the chief complaint to understand the patient’s primary concerns. Sections for general health, dental health, and oral hygiene provide a holistic view of the patient’s condition.
The module also supports the evaluation of skeletal classification, profile type, and FM angle, aiding in accurate diagnosis. Parameters like overjet, overbite, crowding, and spacing help determine the severity of malocclusion and plan treatments effectively. This detailed documentation ensures personalized and efficient treatment plans for patients.
The Orthodontics Module allows detailed orthodontic assessment and treatment planning. It evaluates occlusion (canine/molar), crossbite, midline alignment, crowding/spacing, and diastema causes. The tooth quality section records conditions like carious or traumatized teeth. The Treatment Plan Information feature enables structured planning for personalized care.
