[0002] Dental position information is often recorded in unstructured form in medical records. In order to store patient dental position information, hospitals often use OCR technology to identify medical record data and store it in the hospital information system (HIS) and electronic health records (EHR). However, different doctors may use various expression methods to express dental position information, such as dental position recording method and FDI (Federation Dentaire Internationale) recording method.
