Three plaque-scoring methods were compared by studying planimetrically on front teeth from coloured slides. Three criteria were investigated reprocucibility, discrinimating power and scoring time. Reproducibility was high and nearly the same for all methods. The discrinimating power of the tracing-method and the Optocom-method were higher than was found for the pilot-method. In conclusion the quick Pilot-method is useful in epidemiological studies whilst the other two time-consuming methods are preferable in clinical trials and follow-up studies.. The scoring time for the Optocom-method is half of that needed for the tracing method; this advantage speaks in favour of the semi-automatic Optocom-method in experimental/follow-up studies
通过对彩色幻灯片上前牙进行平面测量，比较了三种菌斑评分方法。研究了三个标准：可重复性、区分能力和评分时间。所有方法的可重复性都很高且几乎相同。描记法和Optocom法的区分能力高于初步法。总之，快速的初步法在流行病学研究中有用，而其他两种耗时的方法在临床试验和随访研究中更可取。Optocom法的评分时间是描记法的一半；这一优势表明半自动Optocom法在实验/随访研究中更具优势 。
