UPDATE:  Recall Types in axiUm

EXAM in DDS Comprehensive Care

When the following exams are completed in axiUm, a 12-month EXAM recall is automatically added to the Recall Box of the Patient Card:

• 01101, 01102, 01103, 01202

If an EXAM recall type already exists in the Recall Box, the recall date associated with the EXAM recall will be automatically replaced with the new recall date.

EXAM in Pediatric Dentistry

When the following exams are completed in axiUm, a 6-12 month EXAM recall must be manually added to the Recall Box of the Patient Card:

• 01101, 01102, 01103P, 01202P

If an EXAM recall type already exists in the Recall Box, the recall date associated with the EXAM recall will be automatically replaced with the new recall date.

EDENT in DDS Comprehensive Care for Completely Edentulous Patients

Please ensure 01701 - Examination and Diagnosis, Prosthodontic, Edentulous is treatment planned for new patients who are completely edentulous.  

Please ensure 01702 - Examination and Diagnosis, Prosthodontic, Edentulous, Previous Patient is treatment planned for the annual recall examination of completely edentulous patients.  

When the following edentulous exams are completed in axiUm (RPD-E form), an automated 12-month EDENT recall is added to the Recall Box of the Patient Card:

• • • 01701, 01702

If an EDENT recall type already exists in the Recall Box, the recall date associated with the EDENT recall will be automatically replaced with the new recall date.

IPT, MSPT, REEVAL in DDS/DH Comprehensive Care & DDS Periodontics

The Recall Card is automatically populated based on information entered in the Perio Template Note.

If the recall type is not changing, ie old MSPT recall being replaced with new MSPT recall, the old recall date will be automatically updated with the new recall date.

If the recall type changes, ie old IPT recall being replaced with new REEVAL recall, or old REEVAL recall being replaced with new MSPT recall, the new recall type and date will be automatically added to the Recall Card, and the old recall must be manually deleted from the Recall Card.

UPDATE:  Clock in axiUm Links

A link to a digital clock is available in axiUm Links - we trust this will help with the timing of chairside procedures.

REMINDER:  Intraoral Scanning & Scanning of Diagnostic Casts

Patients requiring impressions for diagnostic purposes must first undergo intraoral scanning with the 3Shape Trios Intraoral Scanner.   Impressions for diagnostic casts may be made, if required, only once intraoral scanning is completed and saved,  The resulting diagnostic casts DO NOT need to be scanned as the intraoral scan has already been completed and saved.

If, however, impressions for diagnostic casts were made without having the patient undergo intraoral scanning, the diagnostic casts (once separated and trimmed) must be scanned with the 3Shape Lab Scanner in the Prosthodontics Laboratory.

We would also greatly appreciate it if students could tidy up the KEC Student Lab by discarding old lab cases ie. working casts, if the case has been completed.  Please return any implant components related to working casts to the Prosthodontics Laboratory.

Please remember that the Prosthodontics Laboratory is open from 7:45 - 11:45 a.m. and 12:45 - 4:15 p.m.

Please contact Paul Ladell with any questions or concerns about using the 3Shape Lab Scanner.

Thank you for your cooperation.
