Reliability Assessment of a Plaque Scoring Index Using Photographs
Methods of Information in Medicine, 2008Summary Objectives: The need to evaluate the reliability of a clinical index before using it as a research tool is clearly recognized. Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate whether a new calibration method by means of photographs would be useful for assessing the examiners’ reliability in the interpretation ...

Graphing Indexes Reduces Plaque
The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1973Three groups of college-age men participated in a study to determine the motivational influence of verbal explanations of dental plaque, of observing plaque stained by disclosing tablets, and of graphing gingival and plaque index scores were found among all groups.

A plaque index for occlusal surfaces and fissures
Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1998Abstract. 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 ...

Use of Indexes for Plaque Control
The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1973In this program for plaque control in the dental office, indexes are used to monitor the ability of patients to control the formation of plaque. The indexes are charted on graphs that already have predetermined goals indicated as a reference base.

A new approach to the evaluation of Plaque Index scores
Journal of Periodontal Research, 1973The 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, 2009The 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.

Evaluation of the Logan & Boyce plaque index for the study of dental plaque accumulation in dogs
Research in Veterinary Science, 2006The objectives of this study were to assess intra-examiner (experienced examiner) and inter-examiner agreements (experienced versus non-experienced examiners) of scores assessed with the Logan & Boyce plaque index and to evaluate whether a modification of this index, where anatomical landmarks are used for horizontal division [mod L&B-AL] and dye ...

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1995
Abstract. Short‐term methodologies have been developed to screen chemical agents for plaque inhibitory effects. Most measure inhibition of plaque regrowth over several days. A method was described to study agents over 16–24 h periods, although some difficulties with the index used were reported.

Vestibular and lingual orthodontics: experimental study on plaque and blood indexes
Minerva Stomatologica, 2020In patients with fixed orthodontic treatment, good oral hygiene management is important to prevent complications such as caries, enamel demineralization, white spots, gingivitis, gingival hyperplasia and periodontitis. The aim of this experimental study is to compare the plaque and gingival indexes in patients with labial or lingual appliances.Twenty ...
