NEBDN acknowledges that there are a number of systems and software used to record charting. It also recognises that there are local and regional differences in registering patient details. The following notations are to be used when completing or interpreting a written chart for the National Diploma Examination. A chart is a diagrammatic representation of the teeth showing all the surfaces of the teeth. The charts in the examination will be used to show: • Teeth present • Teeth missing • Work to be carried out • Work completed • Surfaces with cavities and restorations etc. When charting, the mouth is looked on as being a flat line. The diagram is viewed, as you would examine the patient’s mouth. Zsigmondy-Palmer Notation 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 R
