This manuscript introduces a new method for teeth numbering system. The primary rationale of lunching this system was to solve previous numbering systems' drawbacks. Furthermore, to keep simplicity and ease of reading and inputting data. The outcome of a questionnaire disseminated among 66 personnel showed the confusion existing among currently used tooth numbering systems. The 'qpdb' system divided the oral cavity into four quadrants, each quadrant represented by alphabetical English letter (q, p, d & b). In spite of being a promising system, this new system lacks the real usage and application, and need more future studies to prove its validity.
本手稿介绍了一种新的牙齿编号系统方法。推出该系统的主要理由是解决先前编号系统的缺点。此外，为了保持简单性以及便于阅读和输入数据。在66名人员中进行的问卷调查结果显示了当前使用的牙齿编号系统中存在的混乱情况。“qpdb”系统将口腔分为四个象限，每个象限由英文字母（q、p、d和b）表示。尽管这是一个有前景的系统，但这个新系统缺乏实际使用和应用，需要更多未来研究来证明其有效性。
