oSIST prEN ISO 24292:2026 is a SIST standard aligned with ISO/DIS 24292:2026 on health informatics for a Dental Patient Summary. It specifies a core dental dataset and a shared structure for exchanging the most relevant patient information so care can continue across practices, specialist referrals, other healthcare settings and borders. The standard focuses on what data is exchanged and how it is organized, not on the software, network or workflow used to move it.

What does oSIST prEN ISO 24292:2026 specify?

oSIST prEN ISO 24292:2026 specifies a conceptual framework for a concise dental patient summary (DPS). It defines the core dental information to be shared, the way the DPS dataset is organized, and the conformance rules for models and implementations that claim alignment with the standard.

The document is structured as a model of the DPS document, its datablocks, and the detailed sections and features that make up the summary. Clauses 1 to 7 set the scope, references, terms, abbreviations, conformance and descriptors; clauses 8 to 27 define the adopted or modified DPS sections and features; the annexes provide implementation guidance and supporting terminology notes.

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	Implementation independence and terminology considerations in dentistry
Annex B	Tooth surface designations and when to record them
Annex C	Additional resources for specific use cases, including forensics and population analytics or research

What are the key requirements of oSIST prEN ISO 24292:2026?

The DPS in oSIST prEN ISO 24292:2026 is hierarchical. Clause 5 and Table 3 define three conformance levels - full DPS model conformance, DPS document conformance, and datablock-level conformance - and they use the requirement descriptors M, R, RK, O and C. In practice, this tells implementers whether an item is mandatory, required, required if known, optional, or conditional, and whether an absent item must be explained.

The document requires a core set of mandatory datablocks. Clause 5.1 and Table 2 identify Patient attributes, Allergies and intolerances, Dental Problems including diagnosis, History of Dental Procedures, Medication summary, and Cross organization data as mandatory for a conformant DPS document. For a sender, this means the summary cannot be just a general record export - it must at least carry these dental continuity items.

The standard treats missing information in a controlled way. Clause 5.2 and the section-level tables allow some elements to be omitted or marked as absent, but the mandatory sections still need an explicit statement when data is unavailable. That matters in practice because a receiving clinician can see whether information is truly unknown, not yet collected, or intentionally not included.

Dental problems are split into current and historical views. Clause 22 covers Dental Problems including diagnosis as a mandatory section for active or current issues, while Clause 14 covers History of past dental problems for closed or resolved issues. This separation helps clinicians distinguish what still needs attention from what belongs in background history.

Dental procedures are also mandatory. Clause 17 requires a history of dental procedures and allows coded and narrative description of what was done, when it happened, and where in the mouth it applied. The section uses tooth numbering system, tooth number, tooth surface, tooth location and body site details so the procedure can be tied to a precise oral site.

The standard pays close attention to dental identification details. Clauses 14.6, 17.6 and 22.7 require the tooth numbering system to be stated and support tooth number, tooth surface and tooth location. Annex B explains tooth surface designations. In practice, this is what lets different systems interpret the same tooth and the same surface consistently.

Several sections are adopted from ISO 27269:2025, while some are modified for dentistry. Clauses 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 25, 26 and 27 reuse International Patient Summary content for topics such as patient attributes, address book, allergies, functional status, pregnancy, medical procedures, immunizations, medication summary, vital signs, cross organization and alerts. That means implementers can reuse the broader patient summary logic while still meeting dental use cases.

The standard also includes dentistry-specific details for devices, social history and results. Clause 19 covers Medical devices and treats implants as a device type; if the device is a dental implant, the implant type, subtype and manufacturer are required if known. Clause 24 covers Social history and expects structured entries for factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption and recreational drug use, because these affect risk and planning. Clause 23 collects observation results, including orthodontic, periodontic, laboratory, pathology, radiology and other clinical findings.

What terms does oSIST prEN ISO 24292:2026 define?

• Dental Patient Summary (DPS) - The structured dental summary defined by the standard for exchanging core patient information.
• Patient Summary (PS) - The broader summary concept referenced by the document when describing cross-domain patient information exchange.
• dental device - A device, instrument, software, material or related article intended for dental diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment or oral rehabilitation.
• dental prosthesis - A dental device that replaces one or more missing teeth and, if needed, associated anatomical structures.
• tooth not present - A tooth that is not visible clinically or radiologically, including cases replaced by a prosthesis.
• tooth extracted - The area previously occupied by a tooth when the crown and root are no longer visible, usually because the tooth was removed or lost.
• SNODENT - The Systematized Nomenclature of Dentistry, named in the document as a dental terminology used for standardized concepts.
• UDI - The Unique and normalized identifier of the medical device, used in the abbreviations table for device identification.

Who uses oSIST prEN ISO 24292:2026?

Dentists, dental specialists and other healthcare providers use oSIST prEN ISO 24292:2026 to structure a dental summary for referral, transition of care and consultation. It is also relevant to practices that need to share information across organizational or national boundaries.

Health informatics teams and system implementers use it when designing electronic dental record exchange, data mapping and interoperability profiles. Standards developers and terminology specialists use it because the document separates the abstract data model from implementation choices and discusses terminology neutrality.

Quality, operational and research teams can also use it when they need a stable way to exchange summarized dental data for analytics, continuity reviews or cross-border care coordination.

What changed in oSIST prEN ISO 24292:2026 from the previous edition?

This is the first edition of ISO 24292.

Which standards are used with oSIST prEN ISO 24292:2026?

• ISO 27269:2025, Health informatics - International patient summary - The normative reference and the main companion standard; many DPS sections are adopted from it.
• EN ISO 1942:2020, Dentistry - Vocabulary - Source for several dental terms used in the definitions and annexes.
• EN ISO 20888:2020, Dentistry - Vocabulary and designation system for forensic oro-dental data - Source for tooth surface and tooth-status terminology.
• EN ISO 3950:2016, Dentistry - Designation system for teeth and areas of the oral cavity - Source for tooth numbering and oral location references.
• ISO 10394:2023, Dentistry - Designation system for supernumerary teeth - Referenced for supernumerary tooth designations.
• American National Standard/ American Dental Association Standard No. 1084:2019 - Cited in the dental numbering and surface discussion as a regional reference point.

Annex A also names SNODENT, SNOMED CT, ICD-10, ICD-11 and CDT as relevant terminology systems for semantic interoperability, while making clear that the document does not mandate a single terminology.

What does the oSIST prEN ISO 24292:2026 document contain?

The document contains a hierarchical DPS model with tables for each data block, feature and section, plus the conformance descriptors needed to profile implementations. It also includes section overviews and detailed descriptions for clinical content such as dental problems, past dental problems, dental procedures, medical devices, social history, results, care plan, vital signs and alerts.

Tables 2 to 15 provide the structure, mandatory content and required data elements. Figure 1 shows how the DPS datablocks fit together, and the section tables show which fields are mandatory, required if known, optional or conditional.

The document also contains example-driven descriptions for dental coding, including tooth numbering, tooth surface and body site handling, which are useful when building or testing exchange profiles. Annex B gives a practical surface designation table, and Annex C points readers to external resources for use cases such as forensics and population analytics or research.

Introduction
0.1 General
As digitization of dental patient records has progressed, there is a growing need to exchange electronic
information among dental providers for patients transitioning from one practice to another, for referral to
dental specialists for consultation and treatment, for exchange of dental data in other healthcare settings
and for research projects. Examples of data for exchange include administrative data, such as patient name
and provider information, clinical findings, treatment data, image files, medications, allergies, and progress
notes. Such data exchange could also support research using the shared data.
Currently, there are no international recommendations for such exchanges for dental practice.
This document in intended to develop recommendations regarding what digital dental information could
be exchanged among electronic dental records and the format for the data elements that support that data
exchange. The goal of the dental data exchange is syntactic and semantic interoperability for electronic
dental record data.
The standardized data exchanged may also be aggregated and used for analytics and research.
The goal of this document is to define Dental patient summary (DPS) comprising core content in a concise
form. This document defines a core, structured dental dataset with associated business rules for a relevant
patient.
The DPS is designed to provide relevant information to assist planned and unplanned care across any
organizational boundary, including country borders and their jurisdictional requirements (e.g. local,
regional, state/provincial, and national).
The DPS dataset in this document is small, even so there is no expectation that the full dataset is realized for
conformant specification and conformant implementation to be produced.
The dataset in this summary is non-exhaustive. The data blocks are introduced to meet patient summary
requirements be they clinical, administrative, or technological in nature.
