mesh:D010514 'Periodontal Pocket' attached as a parent, not adopted as the identity (NARROW). Stale-sweep review (#84): the non-human mammal periodontal pocket. The human path is the shallower claimant of mesh:D010514, so this is kept as a narrower kind of it rather than merged onto it — the ambiguous-leaf rule.
