A computer-implemented dental charting system includes a computer storing
tooth data for at least one patient and a display operable to display the
tooth data. The computer is responsive to voice commands, and the display
has a periodontal mode and a restorative mode. The display includes an
exam overview window illustrating a plurality of tooth images, each tooth
image corresponding to a patient tooth location, and an exam focus
window. The exam focus window illustrates a magnified view of at least
one of the plurality of tooth images, and illustrates data corresponding
to the selected tooth location. The exam focus window may be displayed
beside the exam overview window, as a floating window on top of the exam
overview window, or on a physically separate display from the exam
overview window.
