  Key Concepts: 
  Master Tooth Notation (MTN) is a system used in the FS-CM Claims Management component of SAP to identify and track dental procedures. It is based on the American Dental Association's Universal Numbering System (UNS), which assigns a unique number to each tooth in the mouth. This number is then used to identify the type of procedure that was performed on that particular tooth. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The MTN system is used to track dental procedures in the FS-CM Claims Management component of SAP. When a dental procedure is performed, the dentist will assign a unique number to the tooth that was worked on. This number is then entered into the system, along with other information about the procedure, such as the type of procedure, date of service, and cost. This information can then be used to track and manage claims related to the procedure. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When entering information into the MTN system, it is important to make sure that all of the information is accurate and up-to-date. This will help ensure that claims are processed correctly and efficiently. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes or updates that are made to the MTN system, as this can affect how claims are processed.
