Description
Record an explicit furcation assessment code and source.
Periodontal charts distinguish planned, excluded and unmeasured sites, anatomical ordering, reference landmarks and sign conventions. An unassessed site differs from a recorded negative finding, and an apical-positive coordinate needs its stated reference. These local records and corrections do not produce an examination, disease grade or treatment recommendation.
Record an explicit furcation assessment code and source.
When to use this tool
Use Periodontal Furcation Source Label when you already have toothCode, recordedCode, gradingSource and need to record an explicit furcation assessment code and source.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter toothCode, recordedCode, gradingSource. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter toothCode, recordedCode, gradingSource using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| toothCode | Tooth Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| recordedCode | Recorded Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| gradingSource | Grading Source | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"toothCode": "T17",
"recordedCode": "F-A",
"gradingSource": "Scale A v2"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"T17\",\"F-A\",\"Scale A v2\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without grading a lesion. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- 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
Review the source chart's site order, landmark and sign convention before combining measurements. Apply the full documented examination and scoring method for an assessment; a site label, correction delta or recorded bleeding flag is only one record component.
