The Index of Teeth 2007 (often abbreviated IT-2007) is a systematic, alphanumeric coding system designed to uniquely identify each permanent tooth in the human dentition. It was introduced in 2007 by the International Federation of Dental Educators and Associations (IFDEA) to standardize tooth labeling across clinical, educational, and research settings. index of teeth 2007

Primary purposes:
