Name
The FDI System: A two-digit system. The first digit indicates the quadrant, starting in the Upper Right as 1 and working clockwise. The second digit indicates the tooth, starting with the Central Incisor as 1 and working posteriorly.

FDI Result:--
Universal System: A sequential numbering system (1β32), moving clockwise around the arches, starting with the Maxillary Right 3rd Molar as tooth #1 and ending at the Mandibular Right 3rd Molar as tooth #32.

Clinical Directions: Surfaces are identified by shorthand initials and their relationship to the midline.
Mesial (M)
Towards the midline following the curve of the arch.
Distal (D)
Away from the midline following the curve of the arch.
Buccal (B) / Labial (La)
Towards the cheeks (Posterior) or lips (Anterior).
Lingual (L) / Palatal (P)
Towards the tongue (Lower) or palate (Upper).
Shorthand Logic
When combining surfaces, the -al suffix is replaced with -o (e.g., Mesial becomes Mesio-).

Project Mission
This suite was developed to modernize dental technology education by integrating 3D dental scans, digital surveying, and 2D prescription mapping.
It aims to bridge the gap between theoretical classification (Davenport) and practical framework design, providing students with an accessible platform for problem-based learning.
