IOTN Flashcards
What dose the IOTN measure?
IOTN measures the worst feature of a malocclusion
What dose IOTN stands for?
Index of Orthodontic treatment need
Talk about IOTN
Two elements Dental health (DHC) & Aesthetic components (AC)
DHC = to standardize the need for treatment
Attempt to rank malocclusion using the worse feature
Intention to identify individuals who would most likely benefit from orthodontic treatment
AC = Aesthetics of an individual can be identified and rated to a common scale
DHC - what is it used for?
Categorizes the severity of malocclusion into 5 Grades
Order of severity relative to the long term detrimental effects on the dentition
Hierarchical order acronym M.O.C.D.O.
MOCDO - What dose it stands for?
M- Missing teeth O- Overjets (including reverse) C- Crossbites D- Displacement of contact points O- Overbites (including open bites)
DHC - talk about grades
Grades 1 – 5
1 lowest 5 highest score
Grade 3 Moderate need for treatment
Grade 4 and 5 Definite need for treatment
Grade 1 and 2 no need for tretment
