Study Notes
Notation Systems for Teeth
- Used to identify tooth type and location
- Aid in quick identification and referencing in clinical records
- Various systems exist for different purposes
Palmer Notation System
- Used in Egypt
- Teeth arranged in 2 crossed lines for 4 quadrants
- Permanent Teeth numbered 1-8 (1=central incisor, 8=third molar)
- Primary (Deciduous) Teeth lettered A-E (A=central incisor, E=second molar)
FDI Notation System
- World dental federation system
- Two-digit system
- Worldwide standard, adopted by WHO
- First digit is the quadrant (1-4, clockwise from right maxilla)
- Second digit is the tooth number within quadrant (1-8 permanent, 1-5 deciduous)
Universal Notation System
- Specific number for each permanent tooth and a letter for each primary/deciduous
- First number (1) assigned to the right maxillary third permanent molar
- First letter (A) assigned to the right maxillary second deciduous molar
- Permanent teeth are numbered 1-32, starting right third molar
- Deciduous teeth are designated A-T, starting right second molars.
- Number/letter preceded by # to indicate Universal system
- Sequence progresses clockwise through 4 quadrants
