title: The modified Triadan system: nomenclature for veterinary dentistry.
abstract: Recently the issue has been raised concerning the nomenclature for describing dentition in the veterinary dental patient.

The Modified Triadan System is introduced and offers a simple, accurate, "userfriendly" veterinary dental nomenclature system. This article describes how the system evolved and its advantages for the veterinary dentist.
