CDt

CDT is an acronym that can refer to several different terms across various fields. The most common meanings are Central Daylight Time, Current Dental Terminology, and the Eclipse project for C/C++ development, known as C/C++ Development Tooling (CDT).

Central Daylight Time refers to a time zone used in parts of North America during daylight saving time. When the region observes daylight saving, the offset is UTC-5, as the clocks are set one hour ahead of Central Standard Time (UTC-6). CDT is used in many areas of the central United States and parts of Canada and Mexico during the designated daylight saving period. The exact dates for switching to and from CDT vary by jurisdiction.

Current Dental Terminology is the coding system published by the American Dental Association for documenting dental procedures. CDT codes are used by dental professionals for clinical records and insurance claims. The codes are updated periodically to reflect changes in procedures and terminology, and they facilitate standardization and communication within dental billing and practice management.

C/C++ Development Tooling, abbreviated as CDT, is an Eclipse project that provides a comprehensive set of plugins to support C and C++ development within the Eclipse IDE. CDT offers features such as code editing, project management, building, debugging, and code indexing. It is widely used by developers working on cross-platform C/C++ projects and embedded systems.

CDT, therefore, can refer to a time zone, a dental coding standard, or a software development toolset, among other context-specific meanings. Understanding depends on the field and subject matter in question.
