This cross-sectional study was conducted within the dental collages of various Medical Universities. The questionnaire containing 11 questions was randomly distributed to 120 individuals (60 deans of academic staff and 50 fourth year dental students). The palmer notation system was the most commonly used to teach and learn by academic staff and dental students in teaching and practiced in dental collages, while the universal notation system was the least used to teach and learn by academic staff and dental students. As well as the most TNS preferred to use by academic staff and dental students in operative, oral surgery departments and orthodontic department in academic teaching was the palmer notation system while the least TNSuse was universal notation system. The Palmer TNS proved to be the most taught TNS in dental colleges indifferent University. It is advised that the Palmer TNS be implemented as a unified system in my country, due to the advantages of this particular TNS and the benefits of using one single TNS. |\n\nCite this article.

The primary dentition consists of 20 teeth, while the permanent dentition consists of 32 teeth. The age-related variations in tooth presence and location will necessarily need numbering and encoding method for each tooth [1]. Tooth numbering system (TNS) serves as a means for identification, recording and management of dental patients [2] . It specifically identifies the teeth by numbers or alphabets which are used for charting [2] . Incisors, canine, premolars and molars are the dental expressions used for all human teeth [3] . Miscommunication may occur during referral cases between the dentists & between the dentists & clinician in specifying the tooth number, this can cause serious misinterpretation [3] . To avoid these, it is necessary for the dentist to use tooth numbering system that allows accurate teeth identification [4] . The most commonly tooth numbering systems are, Universal numbering system, Federation Dentaire Internationale (","cbCaijTtHw2wl7XL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijTtHw2wl7XL","pdf",372110,7,"English","# Introduction\n## Dental dentitions and need for tooth numbering\n## Major tooth numbering systems used in practice\n## Historical background of Zsigmondy and Palmer\n## Palmer system principles\n## Advantages and limitations\n## FDI two-digit system overview","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of the study on tooth numbering systems?\",\"answer\":\"To determine the most commonly used tooth numbering system for teaching and learning in dental colleges, identify commonly taught systems, explain staff preferences, and assess the consequences of using more than one TNS.\"},{\"question\":\"Which tooth numbering system was used most and least according to the results?\",\"answer\":\"The Palmer notation system was the most commonly used for teaching and learning by both academic staff and students, while the universal notation system was the least used.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the study advise about implementing TNS?\",\"answer\":\"It advises implementing the Palmer TNS as a unified system in the country to take advantage of its benefits and the advantages of using a single TNS.\"}]","Dental Notation System Used in Dental Teaching in Different Dental Collages | PDF",1791832345]
