A correction matrix for self-assessed data on dental conditions was developed. 100 subjects, who were randomly selected among 2383 respondents to a questionnaire, were clinically examined. The dental conditions, determined clinically and through self-assessment, were recoded to seven dental categories, and the agreement between the two methods of reporting were investigated. For persons with prosthodontic work and/or edentulous persons the self-assessment was valid, whereas people with remaining teeth overreported their dental conditions through self-assessment. The overreporting did not depend on gender, but was dependent on age, which again was related to dental status. The overreporting was most marked for persons having one to two single teeth or several single teeth missing and not replaced.
开发了一种用于牙齿状况自我评估数据的校正矩阵。在对一份问卷的2383名受访者中随机抽取了100名受试者进行临床检查。通过临床检查和自我评估确定的牙齿状况被重新编码为七个牙齿类别，并对两种报告方法之间的一致性进行了调查。对于进行过假牙修复工作的人和/或无牙的人，自我评估是有效的，而有剩余牙齿的人通过自我评估高估了他们的牙齿状况。高估情况与性别无关，但与年龄有关，而年龄又与牙齿状况相关。对于有一到两颗单颗牙齿缺失或多颗单颗牙齿缺失且未进行修复的人，高估情况最为明显。
