Interrater Agreement on Subgingival Calculus Detection Following Scaling.

Pippin, David J.; Feil, Philip

Journal of Dental Education, v56 n5 p322-26 May 1992

Two studies investigated interrater agreement among 10 clinical dental examiners who scored residual subgingival calculus after student scaling on 4,160 real and 92 manikin tooth surfaces. Interrater reliability was low. Results suggest a need in periodontics for effective examiner calibration methods and objective subgingival calculus detection techniques. (Author/MSE)
