# Dental Chart
The **Dental Chart** tab allows dental practitioners to manage and document patient dental records. It provides filters for customizing views, options to view adult or primary teeth, and supports UK/US numbering systems. Files can be uploaded and associated with specific teeth, and procedures can be added, updated, or deleted. Default chart settings can be saved for future visits.
