^ Thank you, Hykey. Really hope so too.

And @ MLA..  I think the system/the drawing you've posted leaves room for mistakes.. in the 'oral' profession, I mean.



Let's say nr. 21 is extracted 10 years earlier and 20, 19, 18, and 17 gradually moved forwards during that time (like they usually do).. dentists/the oral profession could make mistakes concerning 17-20.

Well, I forgot to mention that the teeth extracted earlier (in life) are not included in the 'Dutch' system any more. Um, let's say, hypothetically, 30 and 31 are extracted, 32 in your drawing/pic becomes, in the system explained to me by my dentist (and used in general here), 'tooth' 46. Tooth number 6, counting from the middle of the 4 ripper teeth, in the fourth quarter/right jaw under. Little doubt which tooth is referred to then. (in medical dossiers)

Really wonder US dentists use the system you mentioned now.

Any qualified dentist should be able to identify the tooth without it even being in the mouth.  They each have different shapes and roots.

An untrained person would make the same mistakes with the quadrant system. Molars would still be moving.

I do see the logic of taking the middle of the teeth as the referring point though. And it shows the symmetry of teeth in the way they are named.

Have you ordered it already?

I did, but I was late, have to wait till Tuesday afternoon, because of holidays.

Well, the oral surgeon (um, me assuming that's the proper translation of 'kaakchirurg') extracted 47. Although I'm glad it's been done.. it was nasty as.. well, as something really nasty. (I was in there for over an hour)

But hey.. again glad it's..

So, the tooth extracted was just in front of the wisdom tooth on the lower right (Tooth 18 in MLA's picture)?  Why did it have to come out?

ah, so that's how you keep so slim.  With your foot in your mouth there's not too much room for food.  Ingenious.

Um, it was the molar tooth nr. 31 on MLA's picture that was extracted. (right jaw under, 47) It had an old filling in it and some of the supporting sides, pieces of real teeth material, broke off earlier. Well, the lousy bastard was a bad tooth and my dentist didn't dare to pull it himself and sent me off to said oral surgeon.

Glad that part of 'the fixing' is over.. um, coming Wednesday chapter two..
