    normal-apical-tissuesNormal apical tissuesThe periapical tissues are clinically and radiographically normal.
    symptomatic-apical-periodontitisSymptomatic apical periodontitisInflammation of the apical periodontium with clinical symptoms such as pain on biting or percussion.
    asymptomatic-apical-periodontitisAsymptomatic apical periodontitisInflammation and destruction of the apical periodontium of pulpal origin, seen as an apical radiolucency, without clinical symptoms.
    acute-apical-abscessAcute apical abscessAn inflammatory reaction to pulpal infection and necrosis with rapid onset, spontaneous pain, and pus formation.
    chronic-apical-abscessChronic apical abscessAn inflammatory reaction to pulpal infection and necrosis with gradual onset, little or no discomfort, and intermittent discharge of pus through a sinus tract.
    condensing-osteitisCondensing osteitisA diffuse radiopaque periapical lesion representing a localized bony reaction to a low-grade inflammatory stimulus.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
