Abstract

The Dental Practicality Index (DPI) has been designed to describe, on a clinical level, the 'practicality' of restoring a tooth versus referring to secondary care or extraction.The systematic approach of DPI has been shown to improve decision-making and confidence in treatment planning when used by young dentists. In addition, there is good evidence demonstrating that it provides an accurate estimation of the outcome of treatment. The DPI enhances clinician-patient communication and ultimately the consent process.

摘要

牙科实用性指数（DPI）旨在从临床角度描述修复牙齿的“实用性”，以及转诊至二级护理或拔牙的情况。系统使用 DPI 的方法已被证明可以提高年轻牙医的决策能力和治疗计划信心。此外，有很好的证据表明它可以准确估计治疗结果。DPI 增强了医患沟通，最终也增强了同意过程。
