tooth 0.5.0
Naming
- The arch visualization is now consistently called an
odontogram throughout the package.
build_odontograph() has been renamed to
build_odontogram().
build_odontograph() is retained as a
deprecated alias that forwards to
build_odontogram() with a warning, and will be removed in a
future release.
Caries activity handling
calc_dmft() and calc_dmfs() gain arguments
to control whether caries activity is required for a
lesion to be scored as decayed:
consider_activity (default TRUE) — the
overall setting.consider_activity_coronal /
consider_activity_root (default NULL,
i.e. inherit the overall setting) — per-component overrides.
- Set
consider_activity = FALSE to count every lesion in
decayed_codes regardless of activity, matching the
conventional epidemiological D(3)MFT definition. When activity is not
considered, the activity column need not be present.
- Behavior change: root caries now honours the
activity setting as well. Previously root lesions were counted
regardless of activity, which was inconsistent with the coronal
calculation. To restore the old root behaviour, pass
consider_activity_root = FALSE.
Tooth numbering
- Behavior change: for primary
dentition,
tooth_convert() now returns the standard ADA
Universal letters A–T (A = upper-right second primary
molar … T = lower-right second primary molar) instead of the previous
numeric 51–70 encoding. Permanent Universal numbering (1–32) is
unchanged.
Documentation
- Documented the default
decayed_codes = c(3, 4, 5, 6) as
the D3 threshold (ICDAS 3–6, i.e. cavitated lesions;
enamel-only ICDAS 1–2 lesions treated as sound), with guidance on using
a D1 threshold instead.
