dental formula. Dental conditions. All these terms are familiar to dentists. And it's not easy. When examining a patient, dentists note the condition of each tooth. A schematic drawing showing teeth is called ' Dental Formula '. In this picture, each tooth is signed and has a unique number. For example, it is noted here that the patient has caries on the twenty-sixth tooth.
The tooth numbering scheme is for children and adults. Children only have 20 teeth while they have milk teeth. Therefore, there is ' Children's dental formula ' and ' Adult dental formula '.
There is not enough space on the tooth numbering scheme to sign the state of each tooth in full. Therefore, dentists use special designations.
Each dental clinic can easily change or supplement the list of dental conditions with their own designations. To do this, you need to enter the directory "Dentistry. Dental conditions" .
A table with the required data will appear.
Tooth conditions for dentists are used when filling in the dental formula in the electronic dentist's record .
