  2. What is Dental Charting for? • Dental Charting is a task that Dental Assistants will do for the dentist on a daily basis. You will need to become familiar with surfaces of a tooth, existing conditions, and restorations.

  3. Terminology • Maxillary – Upper Teeth • Mandibular – Lower Teeth • Anterior – Front Teeth • Posterior – Back Teeth • Midline – Imaginary line down the very center

  4. Surfaces • Mesial – closest to Midline • Distal – farthest from Midline • Lingual – closest to Tongue • Facial – closest to Lips (Anterior) • Buccal – closest to Cheeks (Posterior) • Incisal – Biting Edge of Tooth (Anterior) • Occlusal – Chewing Surface (Posterior)

  5. The adult mouth normally has 32 teeth. • Extraction of Wisdom Teeth is normal.

  6. Teeth are numbered from 1 to 32. • On the upper arch, from left to right (dentist view) going from 1 to 16. • Then on lower arch, from right to left, going 17 to 32.

  7. This is how a Dental Geometric Chart looks.

  8. The “Midline” is an imaginary line that goes down the center, as illustrated by the turquoise line. • The “Lingual” would be the surface closest to the tongue, as illustrated by the green line.

  9. Mesial • Surface Closest to the Midline • on All Teeth

  10. Distal • Surface Farthest from the Midline • on All Teeth

  11. Lingual • Surface Closest to the Tongue • on All Teeth

  12. Facial • Surface Closest to Lips • on Anterior teeth á á á á á á cuspid cuspid incisors

  13. Buccal • Surface Closest to Cheeks • on Posterior teeth á á á á á á á á á á Bicuspids molars Bicuspids molars

  14. Incisal • Biting Edge • of Anterior Teeth á á á á á á cuspid cuspid incisors

  15. Occlusal • Chewing Surface • of Posterior Teeth á á á á á á á á á á Bicuspids molars Bicuspids molars

  16. use Blue pencil for: • Existing Conditions • use Red pencil for: • Work needs to be done • Things that need attention

  17. missing • This tooth is missing • Mark with a blue M

  21. Composite • Tooth-colored Light-Cured Filling • Circle around indicated surface

  22. Fillings Amalgam Fill-in Composite Outline

  23. gold foil • Outline surfaces • plus Diagonal lines on surfaces • write GF

  24. gold inlay • Outline surfaces • plus Diagonal lines on surfaces

  25. full gold crown • Diagonal lines on entire tooth • write FGC

  29. abscess • Tooth Infection • a red pimple and 2 lines ATTENTION WORTHY! MARK IN RED!

  30. apicoectomy • Root Slice • line thru the root

  31. bone absorption • v-shape

  32. partial denture • M over missing tooth • boxes over anchor teeth • line on the bottom

  33. 3 unit fixed bridge • M over missing tooth • Circle Abutment Teeth • 2 lines in between

  34. Let’s Review!

  35. How many teeth in the normal adult mouth? 32

  36. Where are the Midline and Lingual lines? • Midline • vertical line that goes down the center • between teeth #8 & #9 • also between teeth #25 & #24 • Lingual • horizontal line which represents the surface closest to the tongue • between Maxillary & Mandibular arches

  37. What is the Mesial? • Surface Closest to the Midline • on All Teeth

  38. What is the Distal? • Surface Farthest from the Midline • on All Teeth

  39. What is the Lingual? • Surface Closest to the Tongue • on All Teeth

  40. What is the Facial? • Surface Closest to Lips • on Anterior teeth

  41. What is the Buccal? • Surface Closest to Cheeks • on Posterior teeth

  43. What is the Occlusal? • Chewing Surface • of Posterior Teeth

  44. Which color pencil would you use to indicate work that needs to be done? Red

  45. What color pencil would you normally use to record Existing Conditions? Blue
