Notation Systems for Teeth
- Used to identify tooth type and location in dental arches
- Quick reference for clinical records
Palmer Notation System
- Used in Egypt
- Teeth arranged in 2 crossed lines representing 4 quadrants
- Permanent Teeth: Numbered 1 to 8, starting with the central incisor and ending with the third molar.
- Primary (Deciduous) Teeth: Labeled with letters A to E, starting with the central incisor and ending with the second molar.
FDI Notation System
- A two-digit system (world dental federation system)
- Preferred globally by organizations like WHO
- First digit: Quadrant number (1-4, clockwise from right maxilla)
- Second digit: Tooth number within that quadrant (1-8 for permanent teeth, 1-5 for primary teeth)
- Upper right central incisor = 11 (pronounced "one-one")
Universal Notation System
- A specific number is given to each permanent tooth & a letter to each deciduous tooth
- Permanent Teeth: Numbered 1-32, starting from the right third molar
- Deciduous Teeth: Designated with capital letters (A-T), beginning with the maxillary second molar
- Sequence is clockwise through all 4 quadrants
- The number or letter is preceded by # (e.g., #11) to indicate Universal system.
