Dental health indicator based on a questionnaire.

Dentistry has lacked an effective indicator of the impact of dental problems on a person's daily life. Subjective factors in dental health need to be included in order to improve current indicators. The purpose of this research was to develop a new type of indicator recorded from a questionnaire which takes account of subjective factors in dental health. The indicator we constructed has the following advantages. 1. Calculation process is simple in practice. 2. The indicator values range from 0 to 100, with values closer to 100 indicating a more favorable condition for the individual. 3. The distribution of indicator values is similar to the normal distribution. 4. The score of each item is reflected on the indicator, suggesting the individual's characteristics in terms of dental health. 5. Although it is principally an indicator for individuals, it can also be applied to groups. This study will also provide a model for the preparation of a dental health indicator.
