APPLICATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES TO 
DENTISTRY AND STOMATOLOGY (ICD-DA), 2nd ed. Geneva, World 
Health Organization, 1978. 
Provides a basis for classification and coding in dentistry. 
Allows the dentist to focus on a detailed diagnosis for each 
case, provides a standard recording system, and makes possible 
the compilation of epidemiological data on national and inter- 
national levels. The tabular list is divided into 17 subject 
categories and each heading is provided with a number of up 
to five digits. The tabular list is numerically arranged. 
The index provides a detailed subject arrangement in alphabe- 
tical order. Included is an extract from the numerical index 
of the morphology of neoplasms (ICD-O) and annexes containing 
histological classifications of various tumors and lesions.
