Dental Patient Generator
perchance.org

Hi everyone, just getting to grips with Perchance, love the functionality and simplicity. Not a coder, so coming at this as a newbie.

I’m trying to build a dental patient generator for students to practice diagnosis on. I’ve got a simple version working: https://perchance.org/91ba5azokj But I need some condition-based logic so that the relevant variables only apply to the front or back tooth.

Front tooth If UL1 or LR2, it can link with:

• Mesial, Distal, Buccal or Lingual/Palatal • Composite or Glass Ionomer Cement • Any medical history • Any presenting complaint • Any ‘other’ item

Back tooth If UR6, UR4, LL6 or LR7, it can link with:

• MO, DO, MOD • Amalgam or Composite • Any medical history • Any presenting complaint • Any ‘other’ item

I can’t see how to build this with the plug-ins I’ve explored and having read the tutorials (a few times!). Any tips? I’ve got the information for the medical history, presenting complaints and other items to add later.

    i’d say Vione’s is basically ‘the right way’ and i made a noob one, but maybe my noob one will help :)

    • i had it split at the top in to back teeth and front teeth instead of all teeth together.
    • then for the variables that apply to one or the other, i split them in to: backteethsurfaces and frontteethsurfaces

    it isn’t really condition based logic like in real time like you are implying and vioneT answered. It’s more just splitting your types of things in to a box for each type of thing. Also I noticed you had all your lists referenced only in output, but you can reference a list in a list as you see i did with how tooth then is either a back or front tooth and then back tooth has it’s lists and front tooth has it’s lists and they are different from each other. edit: touch edit to see what i did. idk teeth so i made up my own surface types and such.
