Study Notes

Dental Notation System

The dental notation system uses numbers 1-32 to identify permanent teeth and letters A-T to identify deciduous teeth.
The system divides the arches into quadrants, with each quadrant containing 8 teeth in the permanent dentition and 5 teeth in the deciduous dentition.

Permanent Teeth Notation

Numbers 1-32 are used to identify permanent teeth, starting with the right upper third molar (1) and moving clockwise to the left upper third molar (16), then the right lower third molar (17) and moving clockwise to the left lower third molar (32).
Each quadrant has 8 teeth, numbered 1-8 in each quadrant.

Deciduous Teeth Notation

Letters A-T are used to identify deciduous teeth, starting with the right upper second molar (A) and moving clockwise to the left upper second molar (T), then the right lower second molar (A) and moving clockwise to the left lower second molar (T).
Each quadrant has 5 teeth, represented by letters A-E in each quadrant.

Two-Digit Notation System

The two-digit notation system uses the first number to denote the dentition, arch, and side, and the second number to denote the tooth.
The first number can be 1-8, representing:
- 1: Permanent Dentition, Maxillary, Right Side
- 2: Permanent Dentition, Maxillary, Left Side
- 3: Permanent Dentition, Mandibular, Left Side
- 4: Permanent Dentition, Mandibular, Right Side
- 5: Deciduous Dentition, Maxillary, Right Side
- 6: Deciduous Dentition, Maxillary, Left Side
- 7: Deciduous Dentition, Mandibular, Left Side
- 8: Deciduous Dentition, Mandibular, Right Side
The second number can be 1-8 for permanent teeth or 1-5 for deciduous teeth, representing the tooth number from the midline posteriorly.
