Plaque Regrowth Studies: Discriminatory Power of Plaque Index Compared to Plaque Area

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 ...

Conversion of Plaque-Area Measurements to Plaque Index Scores

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1999
Abstract. Plaque areas recorded graphically or photographically provide a permanent record of plaque accumulations on teeth at a moment in time. As such, these records could be re‐evaluated and converted into other index scores. The purpose of this study was to determine the reproducibility of scoring a plaque index from previously recorded plaque ...

A plaque index for occlusal surfaces and fissures

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1998
Abstract. Plaque indices have largely been developed for buccal and lingual tooth surfaces. There has been minimal interest in plaque accumulation on occlusal surfaces despite the predilection for caries at these sites. A numerical plaque index (0–5) is described based on the presence and distribution of plaque in the fissures and over the occlusal ...

A new approach to the evaluation of Plaque Index scores

Journal of Periodontal Research, 1973
The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare methods of expressing the plaque situation recorded by the Plaque Index System (Silness and Löe 1964). Basic information based on 48 plaque recordings in each of 154 children indicated 16 ± 13% score 0, 63± 13% score 1, and 19± 14% score 2.

Application of the Gingival Contour Plaque Index: Six-Month Plaque and Gingivitis Study

Journal of Veterinary Dentistry, 2009
The Gingival Contour Plaque Index (GCPI) is a recently introduced and validated method of measuring plaque accumulation in dogs. It focuses on plaque accumulated along the gingival margin. Plaque accumulation in this area leads to gingival inflammation and, potentially, periodontitis.
