Description
Cross-reference source system and exact visit identity.
Dental research records distinguish teeth, surfaces, sites, observations, exclusions, and reporting bases. Measurement resolution and missing observations affect interpretation differently. A chart token, site share, or measurement envelope can check supplied data without establishing a clinical finding.
Cross-reference source system and exact visit identity.
When to use this tool
Use Periodontal Record Visit Source Pair when you need this site-record, denominator, label, image-scale, or measurement component for supplied research data.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter sourceSystem, visitId, expectedSystem, expectedVisit. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read sourceMatches, visitMatches, compositeKey. Inspect sourceMatches, visitMatches before interpreting the associated values.
Return sourceMatches and visitMatches by exact comparison with expectedSystem and expectedVisit, and compositeKey=JSON.stringify([sourceSystem,visitId]).1

| expectedSystem | Expected System | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| expectedVisit | Expected Visit | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

}Limitations and assumptions
- A matching source/visit label does not establish patient identity, record authenticity, completeness, or equivalence of clinical measurements across systems.
- 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 intended examination or measurement protocol with verified site identities and source records. Broader interpretation requires actual observations and appropriate measurement properties beyond one token or ratio.
