Tooth Initials

Missing, primary, or hidden teeth per patient. Per OpenDental API ToothInitials.

ToothInitials — Manages tooth chart initial states per patient: Missing (extracted/never present), Hidden (temporarily hidden on chart), and Primary (primary/baby teeth, numbered A–T). Use GET to list all tooth initials or filter by PatNum; POST to create one (PatNum, ToothNum 1–32 or A–T, InitialType required); DELETE to remove an existing tooth initial (only Missing, Hidden, or Primary). Other types (e.g. Rotate) are read-only via this API. See Missing/Primary Teeth and ToothInitial Database Schema. API version 24.2.3.

Leave PatNum empty to get all; set it to filter by patient.

Click "Load Tooth Initials" to view (optionally filter by PatNum).
