Description
Accept side only as left or right and direction only as apical or coronal.
Dental bench and specimen records use supplied codes, sequence identifiers and orientation labels. Literal label agreement and numeric order are separate from verification of an instrument standard, anatomical side or clinical record.
Accept side only as left or right and direction only as apical or coronal.
When to use this tool
Use Root Model Label Side Orientation Pair when checking a supplied specimen or instrument-record convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter side, mirrored, direction, reversed. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read side, direction. Use the output convention below.
Accept side only as left or right and direction only as apical or coronal. mirrored swaps left/right; reversed independently swaps apical/coronal. Return the resulting side and direction labels.1

| reversed | Reversed | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- This changes supplied labels without examining images, anatomical orientation or patient laterality. Correct input metadata must be established separately.
- 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
Inspect the authoritative source and actual specimen or instrument documentation before interpreting labels as standards or clinical findings.
