LOINC description : Questions ask for self-reports about the number of natural teeth an adult or child
has in his or her mouth. In addition, one question asks a parent or caregiver to record
information on the number of teeth in his or her infant's mouth at 3-12 months of
age. This is not a count of unnatural teeth; therefore, do not count implants and
remove all false teeth, such as partial dentures and full dentures (some dentures
are attached to implants and cannot be removed and should not be counted). If a bridge
is present, count only the teeth remaining on top of which the bridge sits. For example,
a three-unit bridge usually has two teeth or two abutments (one on each side) that
should be included in the count and one tooth (in the middle) is usually missing.
Note: This measure should only be used if the Dental Caries measure is not chosen.
If the Dental Caries measure is chosen, this measure is redundant.;
