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, 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.

A clinically viable index for quantifying denture plaque.
Quintessence international (Berlin, Germany : 1985), 1997A denture plaque index using the dye disclosing method was evaluated in 24 patients with Type II denture stomatitis and 17 control subjects with healthy palatal mucosa. Patients with denture stomatitis had statistically significantly higher plaque scores than did controls, indicating a quantitative increase in denture plaque in patients with denture ...
