Dentist's ratings and adolescents' perceptions of oral health

Dentist's ratings and adolescents' perceptions of oral health

A F Brunswick et al. J Dent Res. 1975 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

The extent to which adolescents' self-appraisals of dental status agree with the dentist's evaluation is analyzed. The dentist's evaluation was expressed in standard dental status indicators (DMF, OHI-S, Russell Index) and in a rating of overall status as "excellent," "good," "fair," "poor." The relationship between the adolescents' self-reported dental care practices and the dentist's evaluation is also examined.
