ISO/TC 106/SC 3 - Terminology

This document specifies a method for designating the coding and nomenclature for tooth developmental stages using a single letter and number to facilitate data entry and support interoperability. The first letter represents the part of the tooth (crown, root and apex), and the number represents the stage of development of the tooth part.

This document establishes a system for classifying the location and depth of human tooth restorations preparations.

This document establishes a system for the designation of supernumerary teeth in humans using two alphanumeric characters.

This document defines the terms used to describe the distinctive characteristics of an individual's mouth by dentists and forensic dental experts. These terms are organized by concepts based on a forensic approach to the characteristics of a mouth, with many concepts specific to the identification domain that are not defined elsewhere in ISO dentistry vocabularies (e.g. "present tooth"). The hierarchical structure of this document is designed to describe attributes of a tooth, the mouth and a prosthesis/orthosis with increasing levels of discriminative characteristics (e.g. material characteristics, restored tooth surface) and the possibility to connect any level of description of an attribute with the most comprehensive concept. This document is intended to be used for data exchange between antemortem and postmortem files and remove ambiguity on the terms used to describe an individual's mouth. This document is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 1942 and ISO 3950.

This document defines terms used in dental product standards. This document aims to facilitate the standard development process and the comprehension of standards, and to improve communication with the FDI World Dental Federation, the World Health Organization and other organizations interested in standardization.

This document provides a nomenclature of oral anomalies and a code for their representation to facilitate data entry and support interoperability at the semantic level. This nomenclature covers the various anomalies that can be found in the oral cavity. When needed, information on the localization of the anomaly can be added through the use of other codes such as ISO 3950.

This document provides a nomenclature of oral developmental disturbances of teeth and a code for their representation to facilitate data entry and support interoperability at the semantic level. This nomenclature covers the various developmental disturbances of teeth.

ISO 3950:2016 provides a system for designating teeth or areas of the oral cavity using two digits.

ISO 16443:2014 specifies terms and definitions for dental implants and for instruments, accessories, and the most commonly used clinical terms related to implant systems and procedures in dentistry. Grafting materials and membranes are excluded from ISO 16443:2014. The following devices are also excluded from the scope of ISO 16443:2014. Device specially designed to be placed within, through or upon the bones of the cranio-facial complex, the primary purpose of which is to provide anchorage for an epithesis (to replace for example: ears, noses and parts of eyes and orbital regions): epithesis implant; craniofacial implant; maxillofacial implant. Device specially designed to be placed within, through or upon the bones of the cranio-facial complex, the primary purpose of which is to provide anchorage for an orthodontic appliance: orthodontic implant.

ISO 16059:2007 defines the elements of syntax, including the structure and associated content, for the purpose of coded data exchange and the need for harmonizing existing and future dentistry codification documents.

ISO/TR 15599:2002 provides a code of dental laboratory procedures which is digital so as to render it language-independent. This makes it convenient to use as a basic reference for existing or future dental codes, and ensures their compatibility through simple softwares, which is the fundamental goal of the exercise. In addition the digital code is intended to provide, as a result of built-in indexing functions: the identification and traceability of dental prostheses and materials, epidemiology and forensic dentistry, investment planning, teaching, research, industry, insurance systems, social services and regulatory authorities; the creation of performing databases for the field evaluation of materials, design and construction techniques of dental prostheses, and their effects, wanted or unwanted; the possibility of communication between the dental professions, dental industry and trade, on both qualitative and quantitative scales.

The purpose of this Technical Report is to provide possible application of ISO/TR 13668 regarding the coded communication related to dental products, resulting in the numerous advantages of a single, standardized "hub" for the interoperability of present or future codes.

ISO 1942:2008 provides definitions for a number of concepts specific to dentistry in the interest of facilitating development and comprehension of standards, and to improve communication with the Fédération Dentaire Internationale, the World Health Organization and other interested organizations. Annex A to ISO 1942:2008 provides additional information that can be helpful to users of the document.

ISO 3950:2009 provides a system for designating teeth or areas of the oral cavity using two digits.
