Teeth may be entered one per observation line or listed in one cell separated by a comma (,), a period (.) or a semicolon (; ).
Leading and trailing spaces are ignored while parsing.
In the example below, for each of three activities (with Activity ID = 1, 2, 3) there are going to be three dental observations in the generated Claim.Submission transaction.
