Search operator provides four choices::
- Same weight - Both files must have the exact same weight behind the dental codes to count a match. Every dental code have a corresponding weight equivalent to the severity of treatment. Any treatment can be replaced by a more severe treatment, i.e. a filling can be replaced by a crown, but can not become an untreated surface, and all kinds of fillings have the same weight.
- Same or evolved weight - Both files must have the same or evolved weight behind the dental codes to count a match. A PM crown is then a possible match to an AM filling, as the crown might not have been registered by the AM information source.
Same code - Both files must have the exact same dental codes to count a match.
Same tree - Codes from the same tree path are matches. This is seldom used, and not as relevant with the new reduced dental code set.
