62590-5

LOINC code 62590-5 identifies "PhenX - oral health - malocclusion protocol 080701". Angle's Classification is a set of criteria that categorizes the three different types of malocclusion. The interviewer-administered questions are used to determine if the participant has ever had orthodontic treatment. Note from PhenX Oral Health Working Group (WG): There are laptop programs that can be used with this protocol, and the Oral Health WG recommends such a system as it does notify the recorder of correctable errors. An example of a paper data recording form is included as part of this protocol so that the user can see the format of such a data entry system. It also is good to have paper forms on hand in case of an electrical failure or some other problem that prohibits use of the electronic data entry system.

This code measures PhenX - oral health - malocclusion protocol 080701 in ^Patient. It belongs to the PANEL.PHENX class in the LOINC classification.

LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) is a universal standard for identifying laboratory and clinical observations. It is maintained by the Regenstrief Institute and used worldwide for health data exchange.
