posted May 4, 2017 9:22 am in reply to I don't this is allowed but I had to asked, because I can't find any guidelines regarding signatures for dental charting. Can a DDS chart and sign off a dental for another DDS (locum) that has left and is no longer with the dental office? ( this DDS did not chart a note at TOS).
