Charting
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Universal Numbering system | 1-32 where maxillary right 3rd molar is #1 and the right mandibular 3rd molar is #32. Primary teeth are lettered A-T or #D (deciduous)so the right maxillary 2nd molar is A or 1D and the right mandibular 2nd molar is T or 20D |
FDI | the teeth are numbered 1-8 with 4 quadrants. 1 being your incisors and 8 being your molars and are recorded with their quadrant numbers. EX... the maxillary right lateral incisor would be charted *12* and the mandibular right lateral incisor would be *42* |
Palmer | numbered 1-8 with brackets to represent the quadrants. primary dentition would be lettered A-E |
Class 1 caries | are in the pits and fissures of the teeth. can be found on the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth,buccal or lingual pits on the molars and the lingual pit near the cingulum of the maxillary incisors. |
Class 2 caries | can be found on the mesial and distal surfaces of the posterior teeth |
Class 3 caries | can be found on the mesial and distal surfaces of the anterior teeth |
Class 4 caries | can be found on the mesial, distal and incisal edge of the anterior teeth |
Class 5 caries | occur on the cervical third of the facial or lingual surface of the tooth. taking medications, chewing gum, or drinking soda will cause caries on the posterior teeth. |
class 6 caries | not part of the original classification set by G.V. Black but are cavities that involve the incisal and occlusal surfaces that have been worn away due to abrasion |
Abutments | are the supporting/attaching sides of the bridge |
Pontic | the middle space or where the missing tooth should be for the bridge |
simple cavity | involves one surface of a tooth |
compound cavity | involves two surfaces of a tooth |
Complex cavity | involves more then two surfaces of a tooth |
Crowns | several different types of combinations made up of gold, porcelain, stainless steal or plastic |
Full Denture | replaces a full arch of a patient when all of the permenent teeth need to be replaced |
Partial Denture | when only some of a patients natural teeth are missing. artifical teeth are mounted on metal framework |
Red (Charting) | represents work that needs to be done |
Blue (charting) | Represents work that is existing or has been completed |
Amalgam Restoration | outlined and filled in circles on the ares of the tooth |
Composite Restoration | outlines of circles on the areas of the tooth |
Calcuclus | a hard calcified deposit of mineralized plaque found on the teeth, restorations and dental appliances. also known as tartar and is represented by "c"'s over the tops of the teeth on the chart |
rootcanal | when the pulp is removed and replaced with a filling material. represented by a line right down the middle of the root of a tooth. |
impaction | teeth that are unerupted. represented by circling the whole tooth on a chart |
Implant | a replicated false tooth to replace a natural tooth. represented by lines horizontally through the root of a tooth on a chart |
MOD Amalgam | represented by small round marks on the mesial, distal and occlusal surfaces of a tooth on a chart |
Abscessed tooth | represented by a circle on top of the root of a tooth n the chart |
Occlusal | the top surface of the posterior teeth |
LI | linguo-incisal (compound cavity) |
DO | disto-occlusal (compound cavity) |
I | inscial (simple cavity) |
MOD | mesio-occluso-distal (complex cavity) |
MODBL | mesio-occuso-disto-bucco-lingual (complex cavity) |
Diastema | the space between two adjacent teeth on the same arch |
Drifting | the movement of teeth. represented by arrows pointing in the direction of the movement on a chart |
mobility | when a tooth moves in the socket caused by peridontal disease or trauma, represented by roman numerals I-IV to indicated in millimeters the distance travled |
