What does ULA mean in DENTAL

ULA stands for "Upper Left A", which is the label used to identify a central incisor baby tooth.

Dental nomenclature includes descriptions and labels for all types of teeth, including primary and permanent teeth, as well as additional types such as wisdom teeth and third molars.

Labels like “ULA” are used to make it easier to communicate information about different teeth so that dentists can accurately diagnose and treat dental issues. They also allow them to keep standardized records which makes it easier to compare information over time.

The label “ULA” applies specifically to the upper left central incisor baby tooth in humans.

In addition to “ULA”, there are many other labels that can be used when talking about teeth, such as “DLI” (for lower left incisor), or “DM3” (for lower right third molar). These labels make it easier for dentists to accurately talk about each individual tooth within a patient's mouth.
