Tooth identification digital X-ray images and assignment of information to digital X-ray images

A method of assigning information to objects, including teeth, which have been specified in one of a digitized X-ray image and a schematic diagram representation, comprising

• a first step, in which the one of the digitized X-ray image and the schematic diagram is made,
• a second step, in which specification of the objects, if not already specified, is carried out one of manually and automatically,
• a third step, in which one of the objects is selected for which further information is to be saved, accessed, or deleted,
• and a fourth step, in which
• a) when an interrogation operation is carried out, a reference is followed which has been deposited in relation to the object, which reference is used to determine what information is to be shown,
• b) when a deleting operation is carried out, a reference is followed which has been deposited in relation to the object, which reference and/or the information is deleted,
• c) when a storage operation is carried out, an object is selected, a storage area for the information is allocated, and a storage area for the reference is allocated, in order that the new information and the corresponding reference can be saved to these storage areas.
