What’s Calculated
When enabled, the system assesses
-
Existing restoration
-
Caries (decay)
-
Missing tooth structure
These factors are combined into a single percentage value commonly referred to as DMF (Decayed, Missing, Filled).
Note: If a tooth is fully covered by a crown, the affected percentage will not be calculated. This is because the crown completely alters the natural tooth structure.
Display and Legend

-
A color-coded radial chart displays the affected percentage.
