Universal Numbering System

The Universal Numbering System, sometimes called the "American System", is a dental notation system commonly used in the United States.

This article is about the dental notation system. For the metal alloy numbering system, see Unified numbering system.

Most of the rest of the world uses the FDI World Dental Federation notation, accepted as an international standard by the International Standards Organization as ISO 3950. However, dentists in the United Kingdom commonly still use the older Palmer notation despite the difficulty in representing its graphical components in computerized (non-handwritten) records.
