Answers:
RCT= root canal treatment

The next three describe tooth surfaces, so they are most likely talking about fillings!.

DL=distal lingual (back side and tongue side of tooth)
DO=distal occlusal (back side and biting surface of tooth)
MO=mesial occlusal (front side and biting surface of tooth)

UL=Upper left
LL=Lower left

PFM=porcelain fused to metal (metal crown with tooth colored porcelain over the top to look natural)

Best insurances will cover a lot on cleanings (prophylaxis) or anything preventative and have a smaller deductible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

RCT - root canal therapy
DL - distolingual
DO - distal occlusal
MO - mesio occlusal
UL - upper lid
LL - lower lid
PFM - porcelain fused to metalWww@Answer-Health@Com
