The gingival index, gingivitis score, sulcus bleeding index, PM(A) index, selective gingiva index, periodontal index and periodontal disease index were verified with regard to the effect of subjective evaluation on their reproducibility. The authors studied in particular the utility of these indices in case controls and in the detection of minimal changes in the inflammatory process. Due to the numerical classification, the evaluation of the extent and of the degree of severity of the gingivitis requires an subjective decision and, consequently, the choice of an index depends on the objective of the examination. For the purpose of comparison with biometrical parameters, the authors presented an index (selective gingiva index) elaborated by themselves.
对牙龈指数、牙龈炎评分、龈沟出血指数、菌斑指数、选择性牙龈指数、牙周指数和牙周病指数进行了验证，以研究主观评价对其再现性的影响。作者特别研究了这些指数在病例对照以及检测炎症过程中微小变化方面的实用性。由于采用数字分类法，对牙龈炎的范围和严重程度进行评估需要主观判断，因此，指数的选择取决于检查目的。为了与生物测量参数进行比较，作者提出了一个由他们自己制定的指数（选择性牙龈指数）。
