treating by the numbers!

is if the dentist during the investigation, two-digit numbers with comments such as caries, reterniert, shifting on its own, sounds for the patients were mostly mysterious. What exactly is this mysterious Language, which speaks clearly about their own mouth?
The intact dentition of an adult includes along with the 4 wisdom teeth usually 32 teeth. Depending on the function of the teeth have different names:
incisors, canines, molars, premolars
Since each kind of tooth in the mouth, however, multiple copies available, the identification by the name alone is difficult. Here comes the so-called tooth scheme into play, which assigns each tooth has a corresponding two-digit number.
The jaw consists of four quadrants
This "bite formula" our jaws shares with the first digit in 4 quadrants (latin quadrans "quarters") a. This is one from the perspective of the patient from:
the right maxillary quadrant receives the number 1,
the left maxillary quadrant the number 2,
the left lower jaw and the number 3
the right lower jaw, the number 4
The second number identifies the tooth
The second number identifies the individual tooth within the quadrant.
is always counted from the middle tooth vagina from the rear. The central incisor gets the number 1, the lateral incisor, the number 2, the canine, the number 3, etc. up to the wisdom tooth with the number 8 The combination of the two numbers that are always mentioned in the list as single digits, then results in the exact position of a tooth.
The 1 always seen from the perspective of the patient - - molar tooth in the left upper jaw, therefore would have the name and two make four.
This scheme of the "Fédération Dentaire Internationale (FDI) will be common in Germany. Thus, damage, alteration and repair work on the document header and follow clearly.
