Resource Profile: Dental Finding

Defining URL:	http://hl7.org/fhir/us/dental-data-exchange/StructureDefinition/dental-findings
Version:	1.0.0
Name:	DentalFindings
Title:	Dental Findings
Status:	Active as of 2021-11-02T16:19:30+00:00
Definition:	This profile is used to convey point-in-time oral findings including findings of an odontogram, periodontal assessment, tooth-specific measurement, intraoral or extraoral soft tissue exam, TMJ, TMD, or occlusion assessment. Findings in this profile often support associated Dental Conditions/Problems. See the FHIR base resource descriptions for comparisons of Condition and Observation. As multiple tooth surfaces, tooth numbers, and oral cavity areas may be applicable for a single observation, yet only a single Observation.bodySite is allowed, see SNOMED CT Composition Grammar Syntax for correct use of post-coordinated concepts.
