Dentists utilize a system known as dental notation, which is also called the ANSI/ADA/ISO Tooth Numbering System, to depict teeth while they are recording or discussing them. It is a way of graphically expressing and associating the existence and arrangement of teeth in a dentition. This approach is also known as “dental articulation.”

How Many Dental Notations Are There?

The Palmer notation technique, the universal numbering system, and the FDI global dental federation notation (ANSI/ADA/ISO Tooth Numbering System) are the three most prevalent dental notations.
