Your answer for your Thursday #NBDE question has arrived! Which of the following is the name of the tooth 7th from the midline In the maxillary right quadrant? Answer: B. #2 Rationale: Universal Numbering System: • Permanent Teeth- the upper right 3rd molar is #1, the upper right 2nd molar #2, and so forth around the entire maxillary arch to the upper left 3rd molar, which is #16. The lower left 3rd molar is #17, and continues around the mandibular arch until the lower right 3rd molar is #32. • primary Teeth- the twenty teeth of the primary dentition are numbered in the same manner as are the permanent teeth (1-20), except that a small (d) is added as a suffix to each number to designate primary. Thus, the primary upper right 2nd molar is #1d, while the upper left 2nd molar is #10d. The letters A through T can also be used for primary teeth.
