## Union of http://hl7.org/fhir/us/dental-data-exchange/StructureDefinition/dental-communication and http://hl7.org/fhir/us/dental-data-exchange/StructureDefinition/dental-communication

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles Dental Communication (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/dental-data-exchange/StructureDefinition/dental-communication) and Dental Communication (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/dental-data-exchange/StructureDefinition/dental-communication). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
