Odontogram
Set Dentition Mode
Switch the chart between adult, mixed and child dentition
PATCH
Changes the chart’s dentition mode. The change is refused with
409 when any
registered finding would become invalid under the new mode (e.g. deciduous-tooth
findings when switching to adult): the mode is a setup decision, and this
endpoint never deletes clinical or billed data — remove the blocking findings
first (the details.blockingFindings array lists them). A change that destroys
nothing succeeds with removedFindings: []. Entering mixed mode for the first
time seeds the default temporary-tooth positions.
The per-tooth dentition toggle (PATCH .../odontogram/teeth/{position}/dentition)
keeps its cascading delete: an exfoliated baby tooth is a real clinical event,
and only that tooth’s findings are affected.
Requires the odontogram feature flag and EMR write access.
