New collaboration with the AAP and the EFP boosts quantity and quality of international dentistry content in SNOMED CT

From Kelly Kuru:

SNOMED International is pleased to announce a new collaboration agreement with the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP).

Effective as of October 1, 2021 for a five-year term, this collaboration emerged from the need identified by the SNOMED International Dentistry Clinical Reference Group (CRG) to update and augment the periodontology content in SNOMED CT. The Dentistry CRG provides advice and guidance to ensure that SNOMED CT dentistry content meets the needs of users globally and is implementable in Dentistry Information Systems.

To ensure periodontal content within SNOMED CT is in line with current practice, the Dentistry CRG advised incorporation of content from the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions, jointly published by the AAP and the EFP.
