An Australian Glossary of Dental Terms was first published by the Australian Dental Association (ADA) in 1986. The Fifth Edition was expanded to The Australian Schedule of Dental Services and Glossary (the Schedule) in 1996. Since its inception, it has been universally accepted as the definitive coding system of dental treatment across the sector. The Australian Classification of Health Interventions (ACHI) Dental Services chapter is based on the most recent edition (at the time of development) of ADA's The Australian Schedule of Dental Services and Glossary.
