Master list of allergy types. Assign to patients via Allergies. Per OpenDental API AllergyDefs.
What are AllergyDefs?
AllergyDefs are the definitions of allergy types (e.g. Penicillin, Latex, Tylenol). Each has a unique Description, IsHidden, and optional SnomedType, MedicationNum, UniiCode. Patients get Allergies (patient-allergy links) that reference an AllergyDefNum or defDescription. The API supports GET (list) and POST (create); update/delete are not exposed. Usually you use Allergies GET/POST with defDescription and OpenDental auto-creates the AllergyDef when needed.
