Terms used

You need to be familiar with the following terms before reading this report:

Caries Free - No decayed, missing, or filled teeth

CPITN - Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs

Dmfs - Decayed, missing, or filled surfaces on primary teeth

DMFS - Decayed, missing, or filled surfaces on permanent teeth

Dmft - Decayed, missing, or filled primary teeth

DMFT - Decayed, missing, or filled permanent teeth

Dentate - Having teeth (a patient who does not have a full set of dentures)

Age group 2-5 years

The data for each of the following statistics is listed by individual ages and age ranges:

dmfs / dmft:

dmfs - The total number of surfaces with one or more untreated caries for all patients in the age group, total number of surfaces with one or more fillings, and total number of teeth (multiplied by 5 surfaces) that have been extracted (using the oral surgery procedures D7111, D7140, D7210, D7220, D7230, D7240, D7241, D7250). A surface with a code posted for untreated followed by a code posted for restoration or extraction only counts once.

dmft - The total number of teeth with one or more untreated caries for all patients in the age group, the total number of teeth with one or more fillings, and the total number of teeth that have been extracted (using the oral surgery procedures D7111, D7140, D7210, D7220, D7230, D7240, D7241, D7250) or are missing. A tooth with a code posted for untreated followed by a code posted for restoration or extraction only counts once.

Mean dmfs - The mean dmfs for maxillary incisors and posterior teeth, which is the dmfs of maxillary incisors (c-h) and posterior teeth (a, b, i, j, k, l, s, and t) for all patients in the age group divided by the number of patients in the age group. A surface with an untreated caries code that has been fixed later is counted only once.

Decay History - The percent of patients in the age group with a history of decay. The statistics are broken down by decay on anterior teeth, posterior teeth, and both. Each value is the total number of patients in the age group with a caries code (15104, 15105, 15106, or 15107) or restorative code on any anterior, posterior, or anterior and posterior teeth divided by the number of patients in the age group.

Caries History - The percent of patients in the age group with caries history. The statistics are broken down by one or more caries on any maxillary incisor, two or more caries on any maxillary incisor, and one or more caries on any maxillary incisors or where dmft is greater than or equal to 6. Each value is the total number of patients in the age group with a caries code (15104, 15105, 15106, or 15107) or restorative code on the given number of caries on any of the maxillary incisors (or the total number of patients in the age group with a dmft greater than or equal to 6) divided by the number of patients in the age group.

dmfs > 0 - The percent of patients in the age group with a dmfs that is greater than 0.

Caries Free - The percent of patients of each given age (or in each given age range) without caries. To be considered caries free, a patient cannot have any of the following conditions or codes posted in Chart:

Caries conditions - 15104, 15105, 15106, or 15107.

Missing teeth conditions - 15100 or 15101.

Procedure codes - D2000-D4276, D4910, D4999, D6000-D6079, D6100, D6199-D7259, or D7999.

Age group 6-14 years

This statistic is broken down by primary and permanent teeth and permanent teeth only. A restoration code on a tooth followed chronologically by an untreated caries condition indicates that the tooth decayed again after it was fixed and is counted as untreated decay.
