DENTAL CONDITION WORKSHEET

This chart should be filled out by a dentist following the complete visual examination of the dentition and review of the

dental radiographs taken of the unidentified remains. The numbering of the teeth follows the format of the Universal

numbering system with tooth #1 being the upper right third molar, tooth #16 being the upper left third molar, tooth #17

being the lower left third molar and tooth #32 being the lower right third molar. The description of the restorations

present should include the surfaces involved (M, O, D, F, L), the restorative material used (amalgam, gold, porcelain,

composite, temporary cement, etc.) and any other conditions that may be observed (endodontic treatment, pin retention,

orthodontic brackets or bands, etc.). Do not leave any tooth numbers blank. If the tooth has no restorations note it as

"virgin" or "present, no restoration". Other significant dental information can be noted at the bottom of this chart or on

an attached sheet of paper.
