Index
According to Russell, an index is defined as
‘A numerical value describing the relative
status of the population on a graduated scale with
definite upper and lower limits which is designed to
permit and facilitate comparison with other
population classified with the same criteria and
method.’
In the orthodontic context index is described as –
‘A rating or categorizing system that assigns a
numeric score or alpha numeric label to a person’s
occlusion.’

Requirements of ideal orthodontic index are –
(Jamison H.D. and Mc Millan R.S )
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Simple, reliable and reproducible.
Objective and yield quantitative data.
Differentiate b/w handicapping and non
handicapping malocclusions.
Measure degree of handicap.
Quick examination.
Amenable to modifications.
Usable either on patient or on study
model.

TPI is based on a scale of
0 (near ideal occlusion)
1 - 3 ( mild malocclusion)
4 – 6 ( Moderate malocclusion)
Over 6 ( severe malocclusion)



TPI scores only occlusal characteristics,
excluding skeletal and facial components.



TPI is used in national studies of orthodontic
needs for children. Eg. USPHS study in USA of
childeren aged b/w 6-11 yrs in year 1967

Index of Treatment Need
(IOTN)
by Shaw
 Index has two components1.
2.



Dental Health component – derived from
occlusion and alignment.
Aesthetic component – Derived from
comparison of dental appearance to standard
photographs.
Aesthetic component is calculated by direct
examination, but dental health component
can be studied by dental casts.



A special ruler



Assessed in order :
1. Missing teeth
2. Overjet
3. Crossbites
4. Displacements (Contact point)
5. Overbite

Goslon yardstick :A new system of
assessing dental arch relationships in children with
UCLP – Michael Mars, Dennis A. Plint : 1987 A cleft
Palate journal


The Goslon Yardstick- clinical tool, 5 discrete
categories.

Objective :
 1. categorize malocclusions in UCLP –
severity,difficulty
2. compare results of different approaches to
the early treatment of children with UCLP.



Development of Yardstick – Imp clinical feat

1.

A- P arch relationship –Class III incisor
relationship> class II div I
Vertical labial segment relationship – Open
bite> Reduced overbite > deep overbite.
Transverse relationship – Canine crossbites >
molar crossbites.
