How to work with the electronic veterinary dental chart: create a patient, fill in the tooth chart, add photos and X-rays, clinical notes, save data, and generate a professional PDF report.
Updated for v1.0.1
Popular actions
Getting started
From a patient in the list to a saved chart
In Patients, create an animal record or open an existing one. Click a patient row to open the interactive dental chart with data saved for that case.
- Species (dog or cat) comes from the patient record and is fixed on the chart — you do not need to switch it during the exam.
- The Save button in the chart header writes the full state (all teeth, general data, presets) to the patient database.
- See Saving the chart for more detail.
Profile, logo, and subscription
Settings → clinic branding and service access
Settings
In Settings, change your name, job title, clinic name, and avatar. Your title appears in the PDF footer next to your name.
Clinic logo
- Upload PNG or JPEG in the Clinic logo block — PNG keeps a transparent background.
- Choose crop position (center, top, bottom…) — the preview shows how the logo will look in the header.
- On the chart, the logo appears before the Clinical chart heading.
- In the pre-PDF dialog you can enable or disable the logo in the printed report.
Subscription and promo codes
Access to patients and charts is through a subscription with auto-renewal (Monobank). On first payment the card is saved for future periods; auto-renewal can be turned off in the account. With manual checkout or auto-renewal, referral bonuses (15% of referral payments) automatically reduce the charge; bonuses are applied only after successful payment. A promo code applies on manual payment in the account (one code per account).
Notifications
The bell icon in the dashboard header opens platform updates: section headings, bulleted change lists, and tips. Unread items are marked with a blue dot.
Interactive chart
Three projections and demo mode
The chart is built on anatomically accurate SVG templates. You can enable and combine projections depending on how you prefer to examine the patient:
- 1. Lateral skull view (right and left sides) — R (Q1, Q4) on the left of the screen, L (Q2, Q3) on the right.
- 2. Jaw panorama (buccal view) — R on the left (Q1, Q4), L on the right (Q2, Q3); for dogs, lower jaw numbering is adapted for the panorama.
- 3. Occlusal view (palatal and lingual surfaces) — R on the left (Q1, Q4), L on the right (Q2, Q3).
Demo mode
The toggle on the chart panel hides tooth numbers until hover and disables tooth clicks — handy for owner presentations or training assistants. The side editing panel is hidden in demo mode.
Saving the chart
Working copy of the patient's state
The Save button in the chart header writes the full current state — all teeth, general data, presets, and notes — to the patient database.
- Saved data is available the next time you open the chart.
- Saving is not a substitute for a PDF report — it is a working copy to continue the exam; a professional PDF report is generated separately via Export to PDF.
- Before closing the chart, make sure your changes are saved.
Tooth selection: single, multi-select, mirror
Flexible tools for fast documentation
Single selection
Click a tooth — it highlights and a panel with all tools for that tooth appears on the right (or below on phone). Click outside a tooth, the header, or the panel to clear selection and switch to general mode.
Multi-select
Enable the Multi-select toggle in the header. Select multiple teeth — statuses, conditions, and clinical presets apply to all selected at once. On mobile, an Edit selected button appears.
Mirror mode
The Mirror mode button on the chart syncs changes with the symmetric tooth on the opposite side (Q1↔Q2, Q4↔Q3). Useful for typical bilateral lesions. The partner tooth is highlighted when mirror is active.
Tooth statuses and conditions
Two levels of clinical description
Statuses (multiple allowed)
These reflect primary pathology or procedural status: gingivitis, periodontitis, fracture, treatment, extraction, missing, retention, ankylosis, resorption, gingival mass, root remnant, abscess, caries, and more. Fracture and treatment have subtypes (e.g. fracture type or procedure). Furcation and mobility are set in the periodontal chart (stages 0–3), not in status checkboxes.
Conditions (multi-select)
Additional clinical signs: healthy, calculus (stages 1–3), gingivitis, gingival hyperplasia, odontoplasty, gingivoplasty, deciduous root remnant, oronasal fistula, abrasion, atresia. Calculus has a separate severity stage selector.
Filled statuses and conditions are color-coded on the chart and appear in the tooth text block in PDF. If a tooth has multiple pathologies at once, vertical color stripes appear on the diagram — each color matches its status.
Pathology glyphs
Instead of identical dots in the sidebar, view mode, and PDF report, clinical glyphs help distinguish lesion type even in B&W print:
- • — normal, persistent, periodontium without lesion.
- ✕ — extraction, missing, root remnant.
- ▲ — fracture; ○ — destruction (caries, resorption, abrasion).
- ■ — therapy and plastic; ● — inflammation and calculus.
- ◆ — gingival mass lesions; ⤢ — mobility; ◌ — retention / ankylosis.
- ⋔ — furcation; ⊕ — supernumerary root.
Periodontal chart
Available when one tooth is selected
For each root you can record pocket depth (PD), attachment loss (AL), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), and assess furcation and mobility on the scale.
- Root count adjusts to tooth anatomy (1, 2, or 3).
- Quick fill with healthy values and block clear are available.
- A risk panel hints when values exceed recommended thresholds.
- In cats, teeth 107 and 207 may have an optional third (supernumerary) root.
Persistent deciduous teeth
Duplicates for incisors, canines, and premolars
If a deciduous tooth remains next to the permanent one, click Add persistent tooth in the selection panel. On the chart the tooth shows a two-color gradient: the permanent part in the main pathology color, the deciduous duplicate in coral for quick recognition. Left and right jaw sides are shaded symmetrically relative to the midline.
- After adding, switch Permanent / Persistent tabs for separate duplicate status.
- For the duplicate: Present or Extracted; you can remove it from the chart at any time.
- In multi-select, Add persistent teeth appears if at least one selected tooth qualifies — molars are ignored.
Clinical presets
Your own one-click templates
Configure a typical set of statuses and conditions on a tooth, click Save preset, and name it. Presets are stored on the patient chart and available from the dropdown for quick application to a selected tooth or group.
The clear button resets clinical data on the tooth (statuses, conditions, notes) without removing the persistent duplicate from the chart.
Clinical notes and occlusion
Structured text and bite class
Tooth notes
Extended notes support color, priority, and tags — handy for highlighting critical findings. Text syncs to PDF.
Occlusion (MAL)
Bite classification: normal (MAL0) and classes I–IV (MAL1–MAL4) with help for each class. Available in single-tooth mode and general mode; occlusion comment is stored in a separate field.
General mode
When no tooth is selected
Click empty chart space — the side panel switches to general oral status. Record general conditions (calculus with stage, gingivitis, structural lesions), occlusion, and general notes here.
The Reset all button with confirmation clears the entire chart and general data — use with care.
PDF export
Professional A4 PDF report — color or B&W
Click Export to PDF in the chart header. A passport data dialog opens first — review or complete:
- Patient name, species, breed, age.
- Owner, veterinarian, title, clinic, exam date.
- Print mode: color or B&W (for office printers).
- Show clinic logo in PDF — if a logo is uploaded in profile.
- Add photos and X-rays toggle — second PDF section after the clinical chart (up to 12 images, 6 per page).
After confirmation the system generates a printable A4 PDF report on the server. A progress indicator appears during generation; when done — a dialog to save, open, or share the file (on supported devices).
What's inside the PDF
- Header triadan.app · VETERINARY E-DENTAL CHARTS with passport data and optional clinic logo.
- Three columns: right jaw tooth cards, central occlusal and panoramic diagrams, left jaw tooth cards.
- Pathology only where findings exist — with clinical glyphs instead of identical markers.
- Periodontal values, persistent teeth, occlusion, and general status in the summary block.
- Footer: occlusion, general oral status, veterinarian title and name, generation date.
- Appendix Materials for photo documentation and dental radiography — separate pages after the chart with photos, X-rays, comments, and cropping.
- Filename: triadan.app_chart_{name}_{date}.pdf.
Photos and X-rays
Photo documentation and dental radiography
On the patient chart click Photos/X-rays (before Export PDF). Upload JPEG or PNG — up to 12 files per patient. Tooth numbers are optional on upload; you can add or change them later in each file card.
Comments and cropping
- Under each photo — a Comment field for PDF description; save with Save comment.
- For clinical photos: click the preview or a preset (Center, Top, Bottom…) to set cropping; Save crop fixes the result.
- Radiographs are shown in the PDF report in full, without cropping.
Export to PDF
In the Export PDF dialog enable Add photos and X-rays — after the dental chart an appendix with materials is added (1–6 images on the first page, 7–12 on the second). Appendix header: clinic from settings, veterinarian title and name.
Phone and tablet use
Responsive chart interface
- The chart fills the screen; the editing panel opens when a tooth is selected.
- In multi-select the panel does not open automatically — only via Edit selected.
- The pathology list scrolls inside the panel — the page background does not move.
- Panel height adapts for Safari iOS (dynamic viewport height and safe area).
- Save and PDF are available in the chart header, same as desktop.
- Photos/X-rays opens in a full-screen modal — convenient for adding images from a phone.
Dog and cat
Differences in dental formulas
Species is set when creating the patient. The dog chart has the full formula; the cat chart hides positions not in the typical feline dental formula (e.g. some lower premolars and molars).
Numbering follows the international Triadan system: permanent teeth in quadrants 1–4 (101–411), deciduous in quadrants 5–8 (501–808).
Deciduous teeth (dog)
- Incisors: 501–503, 601–603, 701–703, 801–803
- Canines: 504, 604, 704, 804
- Premolars: 506–508, 606–608, 706–708, 806–808
Deciduous teeth (cat)
- Incisors: 501–503, 601–603, 701–703, 801–803
- Canines: 504, 604, 704, 804
- Premolars: 506–508, 606–608, 707–708, 807–808
