Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / January 2005Help with tooth surface acronyms
I am reading a chart and for the life of me cannot figure out what one symbol stands for. To me it looks like a tooth surface - but which on?. The surface I cannot figure out in the following examples taken from the file all contain what looks like the letter "V". Here are examples: 2 surface restorations: MV 3 surface restorations: VIL DLV 4 surface restorations: MLVD MVDL I'm thinking the V might be vestibular rather than buccal. Any ideas?

Sorry I can't say for sure... Maybe that's even where the notation of Class V fillings came from...

Any idea where this dentist was trained? Dr. G. > 2 surface restorations: > MV [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Any ideas? Dr. G. University of Toronto. Her assistant has a very thick European accent though. I'm not sure whose writing it is, might have been a transcription error. I'll find out on Friday, I'm meeting with the dentist to discuss treatment modalities on this case. There are 3 or 4 practitioners involved in the treatment. What the patient wants, needs and can afford don't match. All of the treatment modalities have a guarded prognosis. Perio, OS, DDS and myself have to find a tx. the pt. will agree to while allowing for contingencies.
