Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

Introduction
The content and format of this International Standard has been formulated according to guidelines
published in the ISO Terminology Standards listed in the Bibliography.
ISO 1942 is cited as normative reference in most ISO Standards thus, its content is fundamental for the
proper understanding of concepts defined which may be contemplated to be included in new standards
or which can be considered applicable for the revision of existing standards within ISO TC106. A mixed
systematic arrangement has been used to present terminological entries basically following TC 106
structure as regards to the scope of work of each subcommittee. Following recommendations in ISO
Directives Part 2, the systematic order of terminological entries related to general concepts precedes
those more specific or less general.
Considering that concepts included in the standard refer to several groupings that correspond to
responsibilities assigned to each subcommittee, a mixed order of concepts has been used. Except for the
category of general concepts that includes, anatomical, branches of dentistry, clinical and occupational,
sub categorization of terminological entries essentially follows the scope of work of each working group
within the corresponding subcommittee. Not included are subordinate working groups for which no
terminological entries were identified in the second edition of ISO 1942:2009. Information provided in
Annex A has been designed to help explain how those guidelines apply.
