You can chart dental conditions present at the time of charting in a patient's clinical chart.
Note: A condition charted in the clinical chart appears only on the graphical tooth chart and in the progress notes, not in the financial ledger.

How to get there
If the correct patient is not already selected, use the Patient Search box to access the patient's record.
Note: You can include inactive patients in the search results by setting the Include inactive patients switch to On.

The patient's clinical record opens with the Chart tab selected.

Make sure the correct provider is selected for this charting session. Only providers who have access to the current location are available.

Note: The conditions that appear in the list depend on which teeth or if no teeth are selected. For example, if no teeth are selected (the treatment area is the mouth), a missing tooth condition will not appear in the list of conditions because it can apply only to one or more teeth, but malocclusion options can appear because they apply to the whole mouth.

You are not missing anything. The program apparently is. I will submit this feature request for you.
I was trying to chart the remaining root tip on a tooth , but there is not such icon to choose, so what can i do?
If you do not see the icon in the Add Procedure area of the Chart, you can type the name of the procedure in the Procedure Search area at the top right. Typing in residual will bring up the choice of Removal of Residual Tooth Roots D7250.
