Sir, I must take the opportunity to strongly disagree with M. J. Trenouth's comment about FDI Dental Notation.1
This system is quite clear to understand, easy to use, universal and does not demand any mental gymnastics whatsoever for sharp minds.
I do not believe the problem resides with the system but it is more a case of the craftsman.
