CAWOOD & HOWELL have proposed a classification of the anatomical form of the residual alveolar processes of edentulous patients. The purpose of this study was to test observer agreement in the clinical assessment of edentulous alveolar ridge form using this classification. This was tested in a pilot study involving 57 edentulous patients, and subsequently in a study of 557 edentulous patients. High levels of observer agreement were found when using this classification for upper and lower edentulous alveolar ridges, suggesting that the classification may be useful as a research tool.
考伍德和豪厄尔提出了一种无牙患者剩余牙槽突解剖形态的分类方法。本研究的目的是使用该分类法测试观察者在无牙牙槽嵴形态临床评估中的一致性。这在一项涉及57名无牙患者的试点研究中进行了测试，随后在一项对557名无牙患者的研究中进行了测试。当使用该分类法对上下无牙牙槽嵴进行评估时，发现观察者之间具有高度一致性，这表明该分类法可能作为一种研究工具是有用的。
