- Calibration Process for Diagnosing Dental Caries Using the DMFT Index María Claudia Garcés-Elías Anna Paola Fernández-Coll Jorge A. Beltrán Roberto A. León-Manco Janett Mas-López Medicina DMF index Calibration Data collection Dental health surveys Public health dentistry The DMFT index is an optimal tool for assessing dental caries experience over a person's lifetime, necessitating that examiners of these epidemiological indices be properly standardized through a rigorous process such as calibration. The objective of the study was to develop a calibration process for diagnosing dental caries using the DMFT index among three groups of dentists. A cross-sectional study conducted with a population of 15 dentists who volunteered to participate, organized into 3 groups based on their area of practice. The calibration process was conducted both virtually and in-person. Statistical analysis involved calculating validity and reliability values using the Kappa coefficient, with a confidence level of 95% and significance set at p<0.05. For photographic results, Kappa values ranged from 0.55 (p<0.001) to 0.91 (p<0.001) in the first process, and from 0.73 (<0.001) to 1.00 (<0.001) in the second process. For dental assessments, values ranged from 0.20 (p=0.090) to 0.81 (p<0.001) in the first stage, and from 0.31 (p=0.002) to 0.89 (p<0.001) in the second. Out of the initial 15 examiners, 46.67% (n=7) achieved "almost perfect agreement" and 20.00% (n=3) achieved "substantial agreement." 2025 artículo científico 1659-1046 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=499581869014 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4995/499581869014/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4995/499581869014/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4995/499581869014/499581869014.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4995/499581869014/movil 10.15517/ijds.2024.62635 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4995 Odovtos - International Journal of Dental Sciences application/pdf Universidad de Costa Rica Odovtos - International Journal of Dental Sciences (Costa Rica) Num.1 Vol.27
