Abstract
Dentists' opinions as to both need for and outcome of orthodontic treatment show wide variation. Within the profession there is an opportunity to reduce subjective bias and standardise criteria by the use of occlusal indices. The results of this study demonstrate that a group of dentists can easily be trained to record the Aesthetic and Dental Health Components of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need and the PAR index to a satisfactory level.Entities:
