If an agency enters ALL in the DCH field, which code would they use for all 32 teeth?

The correct choice for indicating all 32 teeth in the Dentition Condition History (DCH) field is to use the code V. In the context of dental records and NCIC training, specific codes are assigned to various dental conditions and statuses to ensure uniform understanding and reporting.

The code V is designated specifically for "All Teeth," which includes all 32 standard adult teeth in a complete dentition. This code allows for unambiguous communication about a subject's dental records when law enforcement or related agencies need to access or share this information.

Understanding the significance of this code becomes particularly important for accurate data entry and retrieval within the NCIC system. It helps agencies maintain consistency and clarity when dealing with dental records, which could be critical in investigations or in situations where identity verification through dental records is necessary.
