Very useful website by Scheila Manica (http://www.internationaldentalcharts.com/) This website is a result of her M.Sc project on international dental charts: Guide of International Dental Charts translated into English - decoding international ante-mortem dental charts for INTERPOL Disaster Victim Identification forms (F2), completed in 2011.
The aim of the study was to analyze the tooth numbering system, symbols and abbreviations used in dental charts worldwide. The countries studied were composed of the 188 INTERPOL member countries.
A total of 40 countries replied and 29 common dental alteration terms and their symbols and/or abbreviations were summarized in 10 languages.
Must have for anyone working in international DVI/missing persons/unid'd bodies and involved with dental identification

Dear Dr Bikker,
Thank you very much for your support.
Kind Regards,

As a forensic odontologist I absolutely support any progression in creating the simple and universal, international,code system. Forensic odontology, as one of the most importan parts of DVI process, needs its own dental " alphabet" to easily connect forensic dentists around the world in urgent situation.
