Reproducibility of probing attachment level measurements
Abstract
Abstract The reproducibility of probing attachment level measurements in incisors, cuspids and premolars was studied in 2 groups of patients with severely advanced periodontal disease. The results showed that approximately 90% of the recordings could be reproduced within ± 1.0 mm difference. This was found for intra‐exammer as well as inter‐examiner comparisons of 2 examiners. Measurements using onlay margins for reference point demonstrated somewhat less variability than the use of cemento‐enamel junction for reference. The level of reproducibility varied notably between patients and was improved following non‐surgical periodontal therapy. Also, the reproducibility varied significantly between tooth types, tooth surfaces and probing pocket depths. It was concluded that in clinical studies, the evaluation of the healing response of individual lesions should include consideration of the variability of repealed measurements for each of the investigated tooth sites.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
