# Periodontal Chart

The Periodontal Chart is used to record detailed periodontal findings that cannot be represented on the standard dental chart.

It includes a complete set of periodontal metrics, such as:

* Pocket depths
* Gingival recession
* Clinical attachment levels
* Bleeding on probing
* Plaque and calculus indicators
* Furcation involvement
* Tooth mobility

Periodontal data can be recorded per tooth, providing a precise and structured overview of the patient’s periodontal status.

To start with Periodontal Chart, simply select an appointment date and proceed with entering data:

### Compare Periodontal Charts

You can compare multiple periodontal charts by selecting different appointment dates. This allows you to view periodontal metrics across multiple visits and track changes and progress over time.
