- Abstract
The article discusses the challenges and future prospects of tooth numbering systems in dentistry. It explains that tooth numbering systems are important for precise identification and communication in dental treatment. The article mentions several commonly used systems, such as the Palmer, Federation Dentaire Internationale, and Universal notation systems, and highlights their advantages and disadvantages. It also discusses the need for a simpler and patient-oriented tooth numbering system that can improve the dentist-patient relationship. The article concludes by suggesting the incorporation of a bilingual or multilingual tooth numbering system into existing notation systems as a potential solution.
