Study Notes

Universal Numbering System for Permanent Teeth

The Universal Numbering System is a method for identifying and categorizing permanent teeth in humans.
Each tooth is assigned a specific number from 1 to 32.

Maxillary Teeth (Upper Teeth)

Maxillary Right 3rd molar is identified as tooth number 1.
Maxillary Right 2nd molar is identified as tooth number 2.
Maxillary Right 1st molar is identified as tooth number 3.
Maxillary Right 2nd bicuspid/premolar is identified as tooth number 4.
Maxillary Right 1st bicuspid/premolar is identified as tooth number 5.
Maxillary Right canine/cuspid is identified as tooth number 6.
Maxillary Right lateral incisor is identified as tooth number 7.
Maxillary Right central incisor is identified as tooth number 8.
Maxillary Left central incisor is identified as tooth number 9.
Maxillary Left lateral incisor is identified as tooth number 10.
Maxillary Left canine/cuspid is identified as tooth number 11.
Maxillary Left 1st bicuspid/premolar is identified as tooth number 12.
Maxillary Left 2nd bicuspid/premolar is identified as tooth number 13.
Maxillary Left 1st molar is identified as tooth number 14.
Maxillary Left 2nd molar is identified as tooth number 15.
Maxillary Left 3rd molar is identified as tooth number 16.

Mandibular Teeth (Lower Teeth)

Mandibular Left 3rd molar is identified as tooth number 17.
Mandibular Left 2nd molar is identified as tooth number 18.
Mandibular Left 1st molar is identified as tooth number 19.
Mandibular Left 2nd bicuspid/premolar is identified as tooth number 20.
Mandibular Left 1st bicuspid/premolar is identified as tooth number 21.
Mandibular Left canine/cuspid is identified as tooth number 22.
Mandibular Left lateral incisor is identified as tooth number 23.
Mandibular Left central incisor is identified as tooth number 24.
Mandibular Right central incisor is identified as tooth number 25.
Mandibular Right lateral incisor is identified as tooth number 26.
Mandibular Right canine/cuspid is identified as tooth number 27.
Mandibular Right 1st bicuspid/premolar is identified as tooth number 28.
Mandibular Right 2nd bicuspid/premolar is identified as tooth number 29.
Mandibular Right 1st molar is identified as tooth number 30.
Mandibular Right 2nd molar is identified as tooth number 31.
Mandibular Right 3rd molar is identified as tooth number 32.

Additional Notes

The numbering system begins with the upper right third molar (1) and ends with the lower right third molar (32).
This systematic approach aids in dental communication, treatment planning, and record-keeping.
