The '''Universal numbering system''' is a dental notation system for associating information to a specific tooth, and is commonly used in the [[USA|United States]].
The designations "left" and "right" on the chart correspond to the patient's left and right, respectively.
==Chart of codes==
Orientation of the chart is traditionally "patient's view", i.e. patient's right corresponds to notation-chart right. The designations "left" and "right" on the chart correspond to the patient's left and right, respectively.
