Description
Return retained periodontal-chart tooth and site counts.
Oral-health records may contain surface identifiers, annotation support, inventory or image calibration. Local count and balance rules do not verify observations, define an appropriate hygiene practice or establish a dental diagnosis.
Return retained periodontal-chart tooth and site counts.
When to use this tool
Use Periodontal Chart Site Count when checking the stated oral-health record or measurement convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter toothIds, sitesPerTooth, excludedToothIds. Keep parallel arrays aligned. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read countedSites, countedTeeth. Use the output convention below.
Return retained periodontal-chart tooth and site counts. Require aligned unique toothIds and nonnegative sitesPerTooth; exclude matching tooth IDs before summing sites and counting teeth.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- Sites are supplied metadata; no anatomical protocol, chart completeness or periodontal diagnosis is verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the relevant charting protocol and professional dental guidance for clinical interpretation, care and individual recommendations.
