# Seed dental lexicon -- generic clinical terminology.
#
# This is a bootstrap list so that domain-WER is measurable from day one. It is
# NOT the finished lexicon: the full build pulls from MeSH (dental branch),
# RxNorm (anaesthetics and antibiotics), and SNOMED CT via UMLS.
#
# Everything here is ordinary anatomical and clinical vocabulary. No CDT
# procedure codes and no SNODENT content -- those are ADA copyright and require
# a commercial licence to redistribute.
#
# One term per line. Multi-word terms are matched as phrases. '#' starts a comment.

# --- anatomy ---
# "tooth"/"teeth" are here so candidate selection treats them as known-good.
# Absent, they were queried as suspicious words and matched "root"/"mouth" at
# high orthographic similarity, crowding out real candidates.
