When identifying a specific tooth, dentists list the dentition, arch, quadrant and tooth name. There are several systems of naming and coding teeth. It is necessary that the dental team be familiar with all systems so that communication between dental offices is possible. In this article, the most popular systems are reviewed and their advantages, disadvantages are discussed. These systems are Universal, Palmer and FDI. Also, other systems are summarized. The Palmer/Zsigmody notation have been used widely in the world, but caused problems in typing and printing. And also, it is not suitable for computer processing. The FDI two-digit system helps to prevent errors when differentiating between right and left sides of the mouth or between upper and lower dental arches. It also has advantages when typing and is capable of being incorporated in computer languages.
在确定某一特定牙齿时，牙医会列出牙列、牙弓、象限和牙齿名称。有几种牙齿命名和编码系统。牙科团队必须熟悉所有系统，以便牙科诊所之间能够进行沟通。在本文中，将对最流行的系统进行回顾，并讨论其优缺点。这些系统是通用系统、帕尔默系统和FDI系统。此外，还将总结其他系统。帕尔默/西格莫迪符号在世界范围内被广泛使用，但在打字和印刷方面存在问题。而且，它不适合计算机处理。FDI两位数系统有助于在区分口腔左右两侧或上下牙弓时防止出错。它在打字方面也有优势，并且能够融入计算机语言。
