Aim To identify the types of dental notation systems used in dental hospitals, and their perceived advantages and disadvantages. In addition, to record the dental notation used in patient referral letters.Method A self-completed questionnaire survey asking about the use of dental notation systems was distributed to 16 dental hospitals in the UK and Ireland in the summer of 2016. In addition, dentist referrals to the Restorative Dentistry department of the University Dental Hospital of Manchester were sequentially assessed for the dental notation used.Results Twelve hospitals replied. In order of frequency, the notation systems in use were the Alphanumeric, the Palmer, and the Federation Dentaire Internationale system. No hospital used the Universal system. Perceived advantages and disadvantages of each of the different systems were volunteered. One hundred and twenty-four referral letters were assessed and 100 were identified where dental notation was used. The majority used Alphanumeric notation.Conclusion A variety of dental notation systems remain in use in dental hospitals. The move to electronic recording and communication of information regarding teeth is encouraging the use of the Alphanumeric system. General dental practitioners are predominantly using the Alphanumeric system as their notation of choice in referral letters to the Restorative Dentistry department in Manchester.
目的 确定牙科医院使用的牙位记录系统类型及其 perceived 优势和劣势。此外，记录患者转诊信中使用的牙位记录。方法 2016年夏季，向英国和爱尔兰的16家牙科医院发放了一份关于牙位记录系统使用情况的自我填写式问卷调查。此外，对转诊至曼彻斯特大学牙科医院修复牙科部门的牙医转诊病例按顺序评估所使用的牙位记录。结果 12家医院回复。按使用频率排序，使用的记录系统依次为字母数字系统、帕尔默系统和国际牙科联合会系统。没有医院使用通用系统。不同系统各自的优势和劣势均有人提及。评估了124封转诊信，其中100封使用了牙位记录。大多数使用字母数字记录。结论 牙科医院仍在使用多种牙位记录系统。向牙齿信息的电子记录和通信的转变正在促使字母数字系统的使用。普通牙科医生在给曼彻斯特大学牙科医院修复牙科部门的转诊信中主要使用字母数字系统作为他们首选的记录方式。
