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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Significant Caries Index
7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 92/105
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.
7/27/2019 Oral Health Indices
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oral-health-indices 93/105
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.
