In the universal system of notation, the permanent mandibular second molars are designated by a number. The right permanent mandibular second molar is known as "31", and the left one is known as "18". In the Palmer notation, a number is used in conjunction with a symbol designating in which quadrant the tooth is found. For this tooth, the left ...
The Universal Numbering System, sometimes called the "American System", is a dental notation system commonly used in the United States. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Most of the rest of the world uses the FDI World Dental Federation notation , accepted as an international standard by the International Standards Organization as ISO 3950. [ 3 ]
42 32 82 72 mandibular lateral incisor 1; 13 23 53 63 maxillary canine 1; 43 33 83 73 mandibular canine 1; 14 24 maxillary first premolar 2; 44 34 mandibular first premolar 1; 15 25 maxillary second premolar 1; 45 35 mandibular second premolar 1; 16 26 54 64 maxillary first molar 3; 46 36 84 74 mandibular first molar 2; 17 27 55 65 maxillary ...
Hence the left and right maxillary central incisor would have the same number, "1", but the right one would have the symbol "⏌" underneath it, while the left one would have "⎿". Comparison of alphanumeric notation, Palmer notation, ISO 3950 (FDI) notation, Universal Numbering System, and paleoanthropology notation
The FDI notation uses a two-digit numbering system in which the first digit represents a tooth's quadrant and the second digit represents the number of the tooth from the midline of the face. For permanent teeth, the patient's upper right teeth begin with the number "1", the upper left teeth begin with the number "2", the lower left with "3 ...
The mandibular first molar is the tooth located distally from both the mandibular second premolars of the mouth but mesially from both mandibular second molars. It is located on the mandibular arch of the mouth, and generally opposes the maxillary first molars and the maxillary 2nd premolar. This arrangement is known as Class I occlusion.
The mandibular teeth are the mandibular central incisors (24 and 25), mandibular lateral incisors (23 and 26), mandibular canines (22 and 27), mandibular first premolars (21 and 28), mandibular second premolars (20 and 29), mandibular first molars (19 and 30), mandibular second molars (18 and 31), and mandibular third molars (17 and 32).
In this diagram of the universal numbering system, the midline can be visualized as running from the 8-9 area to the 24-25 area. The dental midline is the midsagittal line of maxillary and mandibular dental arches possessing teeth of ideal size, shape, and position, when situated in maximum intercuspation.
