This value set contains 6 concepts

SystemCodeDisplay (de)DefinitionJSONXML
https://fhir.cognovis.de/dental/CodeSystem/winter-impaction-angulation  verticalLong axis of third molar parallel to second molar (classic longitudinal retention).
https://fhir.cognovis.de/dental/CodeSystem/winter-impaction-angulation  horizontalLong axis of third molar perpendicular (90°) to second molar (lies across).
https://fhir.cognovis.de/dental/CodeSystem/winter-impaction-angulation  mesioangularCrown of third molar tilted mesially toward second molar; most common angulation type (~45% in multiple studies).
https://fhir.cognovis.de/dental/CodeSystem/winter-impaction-angulation  distoangularCrown of third molar tilted distally away from second molar; associated with increased surgical difficulty in many studies.
https://fhir.cognovis.de/dental/CodeSystem/winter-impaction-angulation  transversalBuccolingual (transverse) orientation of the long axis. Not reliably detectable on 2-D panoramic radiography; CBCT confirmation is required to assign this class.
https://fhir.cognovis.de/dental/CodeSystem/winter-impaction-angulation  inverseFully inverted orientation (crown apical, root coronal); very rare.

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
