Palmer notation

Panorex Edmonton

In the world of dentistry, effective communication is essential, and dental notation systems are crucial tools for associating information with specific teeth. One such system is the Palmer Notation, also known as the Military System, named after Ohio dentist Dr. Corydon Palmer.

The Palmer Notation system is designed to provide a standardized way of identifying and communicating information about individual teeth. While it has been purportedly replaced by the FDI World Dental Federation notation in some regions, it remains highly prevalent and preferred among orthodontists, dental students, and practitioners in the United Kingdom.

Key features of the Palmer Notation system include:

  • Universal Understanding: Palmer Notation ensures that dental professionals can communicate tooth information consistently, regardless of language or location.
  • Efficient Communication: With a simple and standardized system, dental practitioners can quickly convey information about a patient's dental health.
  • Orthodontic Use: Orthodontists often find Palmer Notation particularly useful for treatment planning and discussing tooth movement and alignment.

Whether you're a patient or a dental professional, understanding dental notation can help facilitate effective communication and treatment planning. If you have questions about dental notation or need dental care in Edmonton, our team at Westend Dental Clinic is here to assist you.
