 What Is Index  An index is defined as a numerical valuedescribing the relative status of a population

on a graduated scale with definite upper andlower limits, which is designed to permit andfacilitated comparison with other populationsclassified by the same criteria and method (AL

Russell).

Oral Hygiene Index(OHI)Greene and Vermi l  ion 1960 

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 13/105

PurposePurpose : To measure existing debris and

calculus as an indication of oral cleanliness.!

The OHI has two components!Debris Index !Calculus Index 

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 14/105

Selection Teeth and SurfacesDevide the dentition into

sextants.!Score only fully erupt 

permanent teeth.!Exclude third molar , teeth

 with full crown

restorations, teeth reduced

in hight because of severe

dental caries or trauma.!Select the 12 tooth surface,

1 facial and 1 lingual or

palatal in each sextant.

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 15/105

ProcedureEvaluation: evaluation each sextant to recordfirst the debris and then the calculus.!Sequence: proceed in routine from maxillary right, anterior, and left sextants to mandibularleft, anterior, and right sextants.!Record 12 Debris Scores!Record 12 Calculus Scores

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 16/105

Record 12 Debris ScoreDefinition of Oral Debris: the soft foreignmatter on the surface of the teeth that consist 

of bacterial plaque, material alba, and fooddebris.!Examination: Run the side of the tip of the

probe or explorer across the tooth surface toassist in estimating the surface area covered by debris.

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 17/105

Record 12 Debris ScoreCriteria !

0 = no debris or stain present !1 = soft debris covering not more than

one third of the tooth surface being examined, or the presence of extrinsicstains without debris, regardless of 

surface area covered.!2 = soft debris covering more than onethird but not mor than two thirds of 

the exposed tooth surface.!3 = soft debris covering more than twothirds of the exposed tooth surface.

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 18/105

Record 12 calculus scores

Definition of Calculus: a hard deposit of inorganic salts composed primarily of calcium

carbonate and phosphate mix with debris,microorganism, and desquamate epithelial cells.!Examination: Use an explorer to supplement 

 visual examination for supra-gingival calculusdeposits. Identify sub-gingival deposits by exploring and/or probing. Record only definitedeposits of hard calculus.

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 19/105

Criteria !0 = no calculus present !1= supragingival calculus covering not more

than one third of the exposed tooth surface

being examined.!2= supragingival calculus covering more than

one third but not more than two thirds of 

exposed tooth surface, or the presence of 

individual flecks of subgingival calculus

around the cervical portion of the tooth.!3= supragingival calculus covering more than

two thirds of the exposed tooth surface or a

continuous heavy band of subgingival calculus

around the cervical portion of the tooth.

Scoring OHI for an individual!

Determine Debris index(DI) and Calculus index(CI)!•

Divide total score by number of sextants.!

• Each selected surface has a severity score of 0 to 3.!• The total score for debris or calculus ranges from 0 to 36.!• Debris index(DI) or Calculus index(CI) ranges from 0 to 6.!

Oral Hygiene Index(OHI) = DI + CI !• The OHI ranges from 0 to 12.

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 27/105

Purpose

Purpose: To assess oral cleanliness by estimating the tooth surface covered with

debris and/or calculus.!Components: The OHI-S has two components,the Simplified Debris Index(DI-S) and

Simplified Calculus Index (CI-S). The twoscores may be use separately or may becombined for the OHI-S.

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 28/105

Comparison with OHITooth selection. In the OHI the examiner has toselect the tooth with the most debris or calculusin each sextant. The OHI-S assesses 6 specificteeth, 1 in each sextant.!Number of surfaces. In the OHI, 12 surfaces areevaluated: only 6 surfaces are used in OHI-S. !Scoring. The OHI ranges from 0 to 12; the OHI-Sranges from 0 to 6.

Selection of teeth and surfaces.

Posterior: the first fully erupt tooth distal to each second

premolar, usually the first 

molar but sometimes the

second or third molar is

examined.!The facial surfaces of the

maxillary molars and the

lingual surfaces of mandibular molars are used.

Decayed Missing and

Filled Permanent Teeth(DMFT)

Klein, H. And Palmer 1938 

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 63/105

Purpose

To determine total dental caries experience,past and present.

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 64/105

Selection of Teeth

DMFT based on 28 teeth!Teeth not counted!

Third molars.!Un-erupted teeth. A tooth is considered erupted when

any part projects through the gingiva. Certain type of 

research may require differentiation between clinical

emergence, partial eruption, and full eruption.!Congenital missing and supernumerary teeth.

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 65/105

Selection of TeethDMFT based on 28 teeth!Teeth not counted!

Teeth remove for reasons other than dental caries, such asfor impaction or during orthodontic treatment. !Teeth restored for reasons other than dental caries, such as

trauma, cosmetic purposes, or for use as bridge abutment.!Primary tooth retained with the permanent successorerupted. The permanent tooth is evaluated because

primary tooth is never include in this index.

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 66/105

Procedures

Instruments!Each tooth is examined in a systematicsequence, using a mouth mirror andadequate light. Explorers with same designand with standardized dimensions of the

 working ends are needed throughout a givensurvey.

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 67/105

Procedure

Examination!Use of explorer. Teeth should be observed by  visual means as much as possible.Unnecessary discomfort for the patient canbe avoided by exploring only questionable

small lesions.

7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 68/105

ProcedureCriteria for identification of dental caries.!

The lesion is clinically visible and obvious.!The explorer tip cam penetrate into soft yielding material.!Discoloration or loss of translucency typical of undermined or demineralized enamel is apparent.!The explorer tip in a pit or fissure catches or resistsremoval after moderate to firm pressure on insertion,and when softness occurs at the base of the area.

Criteria for Recoding 

D

- when both dental caries and a restoration are

present.!- when crown is broken down as a result of 

dentalcarise

M

- When tooth has been extracted because of 

dental caries.!-  When it is curious, non restorable, and

indicated for extraction.

F- Permanent filling !-A tooth with a defective filling but without 

evidence of dental caries.

Significant Caries Index 

DMFT describes the amount - the prevalence - of dental caries in an individual and is obtained by calculating the number of Decayed (D), Missing (M)

and Filled (F) teeth. The WHO goal thus indicatethat a maximum of three teeth as a mean may beaffected by caries at the age of 12. However, a lowmean caries level such as '3' does not exclude a

number of individuals with considerably higherDMFT values in the same population.

Significant Caries Index  A detailed analysis of the caries situation in many 

countries show that there is a skewed distributionof caries prevalence - meaning that a proportion of 

12-year-olds still has high or even very high DMFT values even though a proportion is totally cariesfree. Clearly, the mean DMFT value does not accurately reflect this skewed distribution leading 

to incorrect conclusion that the caries situation forthe whole population is controlled, while in reality,several individuals still have caries.

Calculation

Individuals are sorted according to theirDMFT values!One third of the population with the highest caries scores is selected!The mean DMFT for this subgroup is

calculated. This value is the SiC Index.

Dental Fluorosis

Dental fluorosis is a developmental disturbance of 

dental enamel caused by excessive exposure to highconcentrations of fluoride during tooth development.

The risk of fluoride overexposure occurs between theages of 3 months and 8 years. In its mild forms (whichare its most common), fluorosis often appears as

unnoticeable, tiny white streaks or specks in the enamel

of the tooth. In its most severe form, tooth appearanceis marred by discoloration or brown markings. The

enamel may be pitted, rough and hard to clean.
