Abstract:
No standardized procedure is available for identifying the location of implants in the dental arch. For charting purposes as well as communication among dentists and other health professionals, a universally understood and accepted method is necessary. Such a procedure must be simple and conform to the different tooth designation systems. This article proposes the addition of the lower case letter "i" in each tooth designation system to provide a standard procedure for location of implant abutment position.
