What does the dental abbreviation OD mean?

In dentistry, "OD" stands for "occlusal distal."

* Occlusal: Refers to the chewing surface of a tooth.

* Distal: Means "farthest from the midline of the body" or "toward the back of the mouth" when referring to teeth.

Therefore, "OD" indicates a specific location on a tooth, namely the surface that is both on the chewing surface and furthest from the midline of the mouth.
