<p>The Universal numbering system is mainly used in the US, where permanent teeth are numbered 1-32, starting from the upper right third molar to the lower right third molar, and primary teeth are labeled A-T in a similar pattern. The FDI (ISO) system is internationally accepted and uses a two-digit notation, with the first digit representing the quadrant (1-4 for permanent teeth, 5-8 for primary teeth) and the second digit representing the tooth number within the quadrant. The Palmer notation is used in the UK and some other countries and represents each quadrant with a bracket, and teeth are numbered 1-8 from the midline outward for permanent teeth or A-E for primary teeth.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Direct vision involves the operator looking directly at the area being treated. It is commonly used for anterior teeth and easily visible surfaces, such as examining the labial surfaces of incisors or placing anterior restorations. Indirect vision, on the other hand, utilizes a dental mirror to view areas that are not directly visible, such as inspecting and working on the lingual surfaces of mandibular molars or performing scaling in posterior regions.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Rotary instruments offer advantages such as allowing efficient cutting of enamel and dentin, providing smooth preparation edges for restorations, reducing chair time for the patient, and offering versatility with various bur shapes and sizes. However, they can also generate heat requiring water coolant to prevent damage to the pulp, pose a risk of accidental soft tissue damage if improperly used, and cause discomfort or anxiety for noise-sensitive patients.</p> Signup and view all the answers
