CRITICAL EVALUATION OF DENTAL CARIES INDICES.pptxDrLasya
INDEX definition:
An Index can be defined as a numerical value describing the relative status of a population on a graduated scale with definite upper and lower limits, which is designed to permit and facilitate comparison with other populations classified by the same criteria and methods.
- Russell A. L
Ideal requisites of an index:
Clarity, simplicity, objectivity
Validity
Reliability
Quantifiability
Sensitivity
Acceptability
CLASSIFICATION OF INDICES
1) Direction in which the scores can fluctuate
a) Reversible – Measures conditions that can increase/ decrease on subsequent examinations
Eg: Loe and Silness Gingival Index
b) Irreversible – Measures conditions whose scores will not decrease on subsequent examinations
Eg: DMFT Index
2) The extent to which areas of oral cavity are measured
a) Full Mouth Index - Measures the patients’ entire periodontium or dentition.
Eg: Russell’s Periodontal Index
b) Simplified Index - Measures only a representative sample of the dental apparatus.
Eg: Greene & Vermillion’s Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S)
3) The entity they measure
a) Disease Index - ‘D’ portion of the DMFT
b) Symptom Index – Indices measuring gingival/ sulcular bleeding
c) Treatment Index - ‘F’ portion of the DMFT
4) The special categories
a) Simple Index - Measures the presence or absence of a condition.
Eg: Silness and Loe Plaque Index
b) Cumulative Index - Measures all the evidence of a condition, past and present.
Eg: DMFT Index for dental caries

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. INDEX - definition
• It is defined as a numerical value,
• Describing the relative status of a population
• On a graduated scale
• With definite upper and lower limits,
• Which is designed to permit and facilitate
• Comparision with other populations classified
by the same criteria and methods.
3. Introduction:
• The DMFT INDEX was developed by
• HENRY T KLEIN
• CARROLE E PALMER
• KNUTSON J W
• IN 1938
• To determine the prevalence of CORONAL
CARIES.
4. Advantages:
• Simple
• Rapid
• Versatile
• Universally accepted and applicable measurement
• This index is based on the fact that the dental hard
tissues are not self healing and established caries
leaves a scar of some sort.
• The tooth either remains decayed, or if treated, it is
extracted or filled.
• This index is therefore an IRREVERSIBLE index
measuring the lifetime caries experience.
5. Procedure:
• The DMFT index is applied only to permanent
teeth.
• It is composed of three components,
• D – used to describe decayed teeth
• M – used to describe missing teeth due to caries
• F – used to describe teeth that have been
previously filled due to caries.
7. Indications:
• All the 28 permanent teeth are examined,
• The teeth not included are,
1. The third molars
2. Unerupted teeth
3. Congenitally missing, Supernumerary teeth
4. Teeth removed for reasons other than dental caries such
as for orthodontic treatment or impaction.
5. Teeth restored for reasons other than dental caries such
as trauma(fracture), cosmetic purposes or for use as a
bridge abutment.
6. Primary tooth retained with the permanent successor
erupted.
The permanent tooth is evaluated since a primary tooth
is never included in this index.
8. Criteria for identification of dental caries:
• The lesion is clinically visible and obvious,
• The explorer tip can penetrate deep into soft
yielding material
• There is discoloration or loss of translucency
typical of undermined or demineralized enamel
• The explorer tip in a pit or fissure catches or
resists removal after moderate to firm pressure
on insertion.
9. Principles and rules in recording DMFT:
• No tooth must be counted more than once. it is
either decayed, missing, filled or sound.
• Decayed, missing and filled teeth should be
recorded separately, since the components of
DMF are of great interest
• When counting the number of decayed teeth,
also include those teeth, which have restorations
with recurrent decay.
• Temporary restorations are considered as filled.
10. • Care must be taken to list as missing only those
teeth, which have been lost due to decay. Also
included should be those teeth which are so
badly decayed that they are indicated for
extraction. the following should not be counted
as missing
a. unerupted teeth
b. missing teeth due to accident
c. congenitally missing teeth
d. teeth that have been extracted for orthodontic
reasons.
• A tooth may have several restorations but it is
counted as one tooth.
11. • Deciduous teeth are not included in DMF count.
• A tooth is considered to be erupted when the
occlusal surface or incisal edge is totally exposed
or can be exposed by gently reflecting the
overlying gingival tissue with the mirror or
explorer.
• A tooth is considered to be present even though
the crown has been destroyed and only the roots
are left.
12. Limitations
• DMFT values are not related to the number of teeth
at risk
• DMFT index can be invalid in older adults because
teeth can become lost for reasons other than caries.
• DMFT index can be misleading in children whose
teeth have been lost due to orthodontic reasons.
• DMFT index can overestimate caries experience in
teeth in which “preventive fillings” have been
placed.
13. • DMFT index is of little use in studies of root
caries.
• DMFT index equates a disease state with a
healthy state by assigning the same score for a
decayed tooth as well as for a filled healthy
tooth.
14. DECAYED, MISSING FILLED TOOTH SURFACES INDEX (DMFS)
• This index was developed by
• HENRY T KLEIN
• CARROLE E PALMER
• KNUTSON J W
• In 1938 along with the decayed, missing, filled
teeth index to assess the prevalence of coronal
caries.
15. Procedure:
• The DMFS index is applied only to permanent
teeth surfaces. It is composed of three
components,
• DS- USED TO DESCRIBE DECAYED TEETH
SURFCAES
• MS- USED TO DESCRIBE MISSING TEETH
SURFACES DUE TO CARIES
• FS- USED TO DESCRIBE TEETH SURFACES
THAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY FILLED DUE
TO CARIES.
16. ADVANTAGES:
• This index is more
• Sensitive and is usually the index of choice in a
clinical trial of caries – preventive agent.
17. Limitations:
• A DMFS examination takes longer
• Is more likely to produce inconsistencies in
diagnosis
• May require the use of radiographs to be fully
accurate.
18. The surfaces examined are;
• For anterior teeth: facial, lingual, mesial and
distal; 4 surfaces
• For posterior teeth: facial, lingual, mesial, distal
and occlusal ; 5 surfaces.
19. Calculation of DMFS index:
• If 28 teeth are examined
• 16 posterior teeth = 80 surfaces (16*5)
• 12 anterior teeth = 48 surfaces (12*4)
• Total = 128 surfaces
• The PRINCIPLES, RULES, CRITERIA and
CALCULATION for DMFS INDEX is the same as
that of DMFT index.
