What is periodontal charting?
Periodontal charting records measurements and clinical findings around each tooth, commonly including probing depth, recession, bleeding on probing, mobility, and furcation involvement.

━━ Gingival margin━━ Pocket baseFixed tooth and CEJ reference
Positive margin = recession; negative = coronal to the CEJ. Pocket base = margin + probing depth. Dashed lines preview a 0 mm margin until it is recorded. For implants, use the implant shoulder as the reference; attachment level and furcation do not apply.
Blank = not recorded. Findings cycle: present, absent, not recorded. Tab or Enter moves to the next value. Delete or Backspace in an empty field clears the previous value. The oral view uses the same tooth drawing as a schematic reference.

+ = present; − = absent; – = not recorded. Site findings follow the site order shown for each tooth. Furcation grades are recorded per entrance.

How to use this periodontal chart
Enter probing depth and signed gingival margin directly in the full-mouth chart. Values advance automatically to the next input. Record bleeding, plaque and suppuration per site, mobility per tooth, and furcation per entrance.
The overview updates as you chart. Use your browser print dialog for the current findings, or choose the blank template for a clean paper worksheet.
Measurements should be recorded by a qualified dental professional using the practice’s clinical protocol. Interpret findings together with the complete examination and patient history.
Printable periodontal chart template
Every chart on this page can also be printed blank as a ready-to-use paper worksheet for all 32 permanent teeth, with space to record probing depth, recession, bleeding, mobility and furcation at each of the six standard sites per tooth. Select Print blank chart above to open it in your browser’s print dialog — no download or account needed. It’s a fast way to keep paper backups on hand or chart chairside without a screen.
FAQ
How many sites are recorded per tooth?
A comprehensive periodontal chart commonly records six sites per tooth: mesiobuccal, buccal, distobuccal, mesiolingual, lingual, and distolingual.
Does this tool store patient information?
No. Entries remain in the current browser session and are not uploaded unless you ask for the PDF by email or WhatsApp. Do not enter names or other patient identifiers.
Can I print a blank periodontal chart?
Yes. Choose Print blank chart to open a clean 32-tooth worksheet in the browser print dialog.
Can I download a printable periodontal chart template?
Yes. Select Print blank chart to open a clean, ready-to-print 32-tooth worksheet with space for probing depth, recession, bleeding, mobility, and furcation at all six sites — no download or account required.
Is this periodontal charting tool really free, with no sign-up?
Yes. The full periodontal chart, including printing current findings or a blank template, works entirely in your browser with no account, download, or payment required.
What is a normal periodontal probing depth?
Probing depths of 1–3 mm with no bleeding on probing are generally considered within a healthy range. Deeper readings, bleeding, or an irregular pattern across sites can point to inflammation or attachment loss, but probing depth is only one part of the picture — a dental professional should always interpret findings alongside the rest of the clinical examination.
What's the difference between a periodontal chart and an odontogram?
A periodontal chart measures probing depth, recession, bleeding, mobility, and furcation around the gums and bone that support each tooth. An odontogram is a broader tooth-by-tooth map showing cavities, fillings, crowns, and missing teeth — many practices keep both records because they capture different things.
