Epidemiological studies in dental diseases rely heavily on dental indices to assess the incidence, prevalence, and severity of conditions, which inform preventive strategies. These indices translate clinical observations into numerical values, allowing for a more objective evaluation compared to verbal descriptions. Different indices have been created to measure aspects like dental caries and fluorosis, categorizing conditions based on severity. Additionally, factors related to gingivitis and periodontal diseases contribute to the development of these indices, enhancing their effectiveness in dental health assessments.
