definition of hard and soft tissue exam

[GoogleCodeExporter]

On the logical side I think this means adding a target of examination (check if 
this is evaluate role in OBI).
Hard tissue exam realizes target of examination that inheres in teeth (or bone 
more generally, or connective tissue?) Choose from FMA

Soft tissue exam realizes target of examination that inheres in Mucosa of Mouth 
(I think this is the closest term in FMA for soft tissue). FMA:59660 Includes 
gingiva as part.

Actually I think these both count as OBI:Assays -> "A planned process with the 
objective to produce information about the material entity that is the 
evaluant, by physically examining it or its proxies."
In that case use evaluate role

Hard tissue definition currently:

A dental exam which includes a complete examination of hard tissues, 
specifically the teeth. It is performed tooth by tooth and documents aspects 
such as whether the tooth is missing or not, and its condition. 
----
Part after this is not definition of dental exam - put in editor note.

this is about teeth:
A tooth is typically considered healthy if it is in a virgin state, or has one 
or more restorations that restore it to full morphology and function. 

this is about disease and disorder:
Pathological conditions may include carious lesions, fractures, defective 
restorations, excessive wear and malpositions.

Soft tissue exam currently has no textual definition.

Issue 23 talks about soft tissue exams. Hard tissue exam defined in terms of 
tooth and jaw.
