The ANSI/ADA/ISO Tooth Numbering System is another name for dental notation, which is what dentists use when discussing and writing about patients’ teeth. It is a method for visually recording the existence and placement of teeth within a dentition and linking that information to the teeth themselves.

How Many Dental Notations Are There?

The three most prevalent dental notations are the FDI global dental federation notation, the universal numbering system, and the Palmer notation technique. The FDI world dental federation notation is also known as the ANSI/ADA/ISO Tooth Numbering System.
