What is it about?
Accurate identification of teeth is essential for clinical communication, documentation, treatment planning, and digital data management in dentistry. Currently used tooth numbering systems such as the FDI World Dental Federation notation, Universal Numbering System, and Palmer Notation Method were developed primarily for manual charting and traditional clinical communication.

Why is it important?
However, with the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence, digital dental records, and speech-to-text clinical documentation systems, these traditional methods may present limitations in machine readability and voice recognition accuracy.
Perspectives
The FDI two-digit system is widely used internationally, while the Universal numbering system is predominantly used in the United States [1,2]. The Palmer notation method is also commonly used in orthodontics and pediatric dentistry [3].
