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.
