devised a variation of the Palmer notation where the (?? ??) symbols are replaced by plus/minus signs, which can either be placed in front or behind the number. A plus (+) indicates upper position while minus (-) indicates lower. When the sign is in front of the number, it indicates left while after it indicates right. For instance -6 indicates the 6th lower left tooth, i.e. first mandibular molar.
