Full ICDAS
nomenclature
|
D.D.S.
Marcelo Alberto Iruretagoyena
|
|
The nomenclature comprises two digits,
the first digit corresponds to the "Restoration,
sealant and missing tooth code"; and the second digit corresponds
to the "Code of caries in pits and fissures" See bottom
image as an example of coding. |
|
 |
|
The first digit in this case
0
identifies the surface of the tooth as "Not restored
or sealed"; the second digit in this case
3
identifies the surface of the tooth as enamel and
dentin caries: "Loss of enamel integrity <0.5mm.,
dentin not visible". The coding is done per unit
area, the boundaries of the tooth surface must be
known; so that the registration of the extension of
caries is standardized. |
