Selfie Dental Plaque Index: A New Tool for Dental Plaque Assessment. [PDF]
J Clin Exp Dent, 2022 Plaque quantification indices are frequently used to evaluate personal oral hygiene. Education in self-care and self-diagnosis is effective in prevention and control of both dental and periodontal disease. Mobile technology has become a ubiquitous technology and can be particularly useful in the self-monitoring of health promotion.

Local Maximal Stress Hypothesis and Computational Plaque Vulnerability Index for Atherosclerotic Plaque Assessment [PDF]
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2005 It is believed that atherosclerotic plaque rupture may be related to maximal stress conditions in the plaque. More careful examination of stress distributions in plaques reveals that it may be the local stress/strain behaviors at critical sites such as very thin plaque cap and locations with plaque cap weakness that are more closely related to plaque ...

Plaque regrowth studies: discriminatory power of plaque index compared to plaque area [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1999 Abstract. A large number of plaque‐scoring methods exist for the evaluation of plaque inhibition by oral hygiene agents, products or devices. The ability of such methods to discriminate between high and low plaque scores has not been compared. In this retrospective analysis, the F‐ratios for differences between treatments for plaque index and area ...

Making plaque assessment easier - a validation study of simplified versions of the Marginal Plaque Index. [PDF]
BMC Oral HealthAbstract Background The assessment of plaque indices may be time-consuming and error-prone. Simplification of these indices may increase their utility without compromising their validity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of two simplified versions of the Marginal Plaque Index (MPI).

Morphological and Stress Vulnerability Indices for Human Coronary Plaques and Their Correlations with Cap Thickness and Lipid Percent: An IVUS-Based Fluid-Structure Interaction Multi-patient Study. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 Plaque vulnerability, defined as the likelihood that a plaque would rupture, is difficult to quantify due to lack of in vivo plaque rupture data. Morphological and stress-based plaque vulnerability indices were introduced as alternatives to obtain ...
