Tooth Numbering The numbers 1 through 8 and a unique symbol are used to identify the teeth in each quadrant. The numbering runs from the center of the mouth to the back. In the upper right section of the mouth, for example, tooth number 1 is the incisor (flat, front tooth) just to the right of the center of the mouth. The numbers continue to the right and back to tooth number 8, which is the wisdom tooth (third molar.)

Quizzes about Types of Teeth,Tooth Identification and Numbering - If a person has all of their teeth except for their wisdom teeth, their teeth will be numbered 2 thru 15 and 18 thru 31. If a person has had their lower right first molar extracted (tooth #30), the teeth on either side of this tooth space will still keep the numbers 29 and 31. Some people have all four of their second premolars (bicuspids) removed as part of their orthodontic treatment plan.

What do dental terms that use numbers and letters mean? After a dental hygienist cleans your teeth, the dentist will come in to examine them. Out of nowhere, he or she rattles off alpha-numeric jargon: 3MOD, 5DO, 13MFD and so on. The dentist is using a form of dental shorthand. Numbers represent teeth that have cavities or other problems. The upper right, third molar or wisdom tooth (this is the one farthest back in the mouth) is tooth number one. Tooth 16 is the upper left, third molar. Number 17 is the lower left, third molar.

Picture of the Teeth • Incisors (8 total): The middlemost four teeth on the upper and lower jaws. • Canines (4 total): The pointed teeth just outside the incisors. • Premolars (8 total): Teeth between the canines and molars. • Molars (8 total): Flat teeth in the rear of the mouth, best at grinding food. • Wisdom teeth or third molars (4 total): These teeth erupt at around age 18, but are often surgically removed to prevent displacement of other teeth. The crown of each tooth projects into the mouth. The root of each tooth descends below the gum line, into the jaw.

Universal Numbering System The uppercase letters A through T are used for primary teeth and the numbers 1 - 32 are used for permanent teeth. The tooth designated 1 is the maxillary right third molar (wisdom tooth) and the count continues along the upper teeth to the left side. Then the count begins at the mandibular left third molar, designated number 17, and continues along the bottom teeth to the right side.

Teeth Names & Numbers Children. The Universal Numbering System is a simplified method of identifying teeth that is approved and adopted by the American Dental Association. In the universal tooth numbering system, tooth number 1 is the patient's upper right third molar, on the right side of the mouth in the upper (maxillary) jaw. Numbering of teeth continues along the upper teeth toward the front and across to the last molar tooth back on the top left side (number 16).

Teeth Numbers and Names: A First Step in Understanding Your Treatment Plan Most of us know teeth based on names, such as molar, incisor, or wisdom tooth. At the dental clinic, human teeth are identified by their numbers. As shown in Fig. 1 above, the ADA teeth numbering system treats the 32 permanent teeth in a clockwise fashion as seen by your dentist. Teeth numbers 1 – 16 are on the upper jaw. Teeth numbers 17 – 32 are in the lower jaw. As an example, teeth numbers 1, 16, 17, and 32 are your wisdom teeth. Teeth numbers 14 and 15 are your upper left molars. If you are getting cosmetic dentistry using veneers, you usually want to enhance the most visible part, teeth numbers 6 – 11 on the upper and 22 – 26 on the lower. For movie fans, vampires can extend their eye teeth (canines): 6, 11, 22 and 27. Teeth Numbers and Names.

Dental formula The deciduous dental formula is notated in lowercase lettering preceded by the letter d: e.g. di:dc:dm. An animal's dentition for either deciduous or permanent teeth can thus be expressed as a dental formula, written in the form of a fraction: I.C.P.M / I.C.P.M. Human: deciduous teeth: 212/212; adult = 2123/2123. Both childhood molars are replaced by adult premolars. Adult total is double the formula = 32.
