In the dental clinic, before an X-ray, the tooth is recorded using the FDI system. The dentist notes: “pain in 2.1, possible cavity; check crown and root”. He also examines the enamel and the gum to see if there is inflammation.

If the cavity is deep, the option may be a filling or a root canal. The chart indicates the type of tooth (incisor, canine, premolar, or molar) and the quadrant to identify it quickly.

(Tomorrow I have the first appointment with a patient and I want to prepare the medical record. He says it hurts in the upper right when biting. According to the FDI number, the area is 14, a premolar tooth. In the latest dental X-ray, you can see a cavity near the dental crown. If the enamel is broken, the usual thing is to do a filling. If the pain reaches the dental pulp, a root canal may be needed. I am also going to check the gum and the periodontium in case there is any periodontal pocket or problem in the periodontal ligament.)

Hola, Marta. Soy la Dra. Ruiz (Clínica Dental Sonrisa). Gracias por venir hoy.

En la revisión vimos una caries pequeña en el molar superior derecho (número FDI 16). Te recomiendo empastar y hacer una radiografía dental antes. La encía está un poco inflamada en esa zona, así que cepilla suave.

¿Te va bien el martes a las 10:30? Si no, dime otro día y hora.

Hi, Marta. I'm Dr. Ruiz (Sonrisa Dental Clinic). Thank you for coming today.

During the check-up we saw a small cavity in the upper right molar (number FDI 16). I recommend doing a filling and taking a dental X-ray beforehand. The gum is a bit inflamed in that area, so brush gently.

Does Tuesday at 10:30 work for you? If not, tell me another day and time.

Useful phrases:

  1. ¿Me viene bien el martes a las 10:30, pero quería preguntar...

    (Tuesday at 10:30 works for me, but I wanted to ask...)

  2. ¿Podría confirmarme si el número FDI 16 es el molar superior derecho?

    (Could you confirm if FDI number 16 is the upper right molar?)

  3. Si no es posible, puedo por la tarde (por ejemplo a las 17:00).

    (If it isn't possible, I can come in the afternoon (for example at 17:00).)

Hola, Dra. Ruiz. Sí, me viene bien el martes a las 10:30. Gracias por el resumen. ¿Puede confirmar que el FDI 16 es el molar superior derecho? ¿La radiografía se hace ese mismo día antes de empastar o tengo que venir otro día? Seguiré cepillando la encía con cuidado. Un saludo, Marta.
Hi, Dr. Ruiz. Yes, Tuesday at 10:30 works for me. Thank you for the summary. Can you confirm that FDI 16 is the upper right molar? Will the X-ray be done that same day before the filling, or do I have to come another day? I will keep brushing the gum carefully. Best regards, Marta.
