Quadrants
In order to make sure that everyone in the dental field is talking about the same thing, we use a standard method of naming and numbering quadrants.
There are 4 quadrants:
|
Maxillary Right (quadrant 1 |
Maxillary Left (quadrant 2 |
|
Mandibular Right (quadrant 4 |
Mandibular Left (quadrant 3 |
divided by a midline
Let's see how you do with a question on quadrants: 
Value: 1
I'm wondering.... did you notice that quadrant 1 starts in the upper right with quadrant 4 ending in the lower right? This quadrant 1 - 4 pattern will actually come into play when we talk about tooth numbering.
