would like it if someone could figure out how to center the numbers in the cells, preferably without having to put a "center" tag in each cell. Eupedia 22:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Diagram
[edit]It would nice to see a diagram image for this article. It should be a trivial issue to generate one using the information given and existing tooth diagrams on WP. -Verdatum (talk) 19:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

- eh, that's not exactly right; they're numbered, but not according to this system. maybe the links in the table are enough? 71.248.115.187 (talk) 23:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
- I reverted this. The image in question would certainly be a possible starting point for a proper diagram. But since the article is specifically about the numbering system, we'd want the numbers to reflect it properly. If I remember this weekend (but I probably won't), I'll fire up the GIMP and fix it. But I'd love it if someone beat me to it :) -Verdatum 15:19, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
I came to this article expecting to find out the number of my upper-right-most tooth (molar) -- I thought it would it would be #1. But perhaps it is #2 due to the wisdom tooth normally not visible. I think a diagram, xray or illustration would answer that question. However, the diagram at http://users.forthnet.gr/ath/abyss/dep1151_1.htm would not answer this question. My dentist tells me my last tooth is #2, which is counter-intuitive. Doughkramer (talk) 16:41, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
A colour coded version of the file is at : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Universal_Numbering_SystemColourCoded.svg I've noticed some image distortion incurred by the upload process. Any advice about this on my talk page or here appreciated. AnInformedDude (talk) 17:10, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Better image needed.
[edit]To be readily interpretable, and best communication, this page needs an image such as shown in:

Coordinate numbers with names of teeth
[edit]Yeah, this article really is stub class. What number goes with what named tooth (molar, canine, etc.)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.101.39.33 (talk) 14:12, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Universal Numbering System. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

numbering when teeth are missing
[edit]Please add explanation about how the remaining teeth are numbered when various teeth are missing -- which is quite a common situation.-71.174.176.65 (talk) 13:56, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- www.animated-teeth.com/questions-answers/definitions-tooth-numbering-quiz.htm
- "How it works if some teeth are missing.
- "There is the possibility that a person will have some missing teeth. (Teeth that have been extracted, have not yet come in or else did not form.) In the case of missing teeth, the numbering is carried out as if these teeth did exist. For example:
- : "If a person has all of their teeth except for their wisdom teeth, their teeth will be numbered 2 thru 15 and 18 thru 31.
- : "If a person has had their lower right first molar extracted (tooth #30), the teeth on either side of this tooth space will still keep the numbers 29 and 31.
- : "Some people have all four of their second premolars (bicuspids) removed as part of their orthodontic treatment plan. Even though once they get their braces off no spaces will exist, when numbering their teeth, the person will still not have teeth assigned the numbers 4, 13, 20 and 29."
