Data from a 3-yr clinical trial were used to assess reliability of two dentists who, without standardizing techniques, independently examined 286 continuous participants. Only 13.1 of 128 tooth surfaces (third molars excluded) showed a change in caries status during the trial by one or both examiners' findings. Although there was poor agreement between the examiners (46.5%) on these changes, they agreed very closely on measuring the cariostatic effects in the various treatment groups because the disagreements were random and were similar among groups.
一项为期3年的临床试验数据被用于评估两名牙医的可靠性，这两名牙医在未对技术进行标准化的情况下，独立检查了286名连续参与的受试者。在该试验期间，在128个牙面（不包括第三磨牙）中，只有13.1个牙面根据一名或两名检查者的检查结果显示出龋病状态的变化。尽管检查者之间对于这些变化的一致性较差（46.5%），但他们在测量各个治疗组的抑龋效果方面却非常一致，因为这些不一致是随机的，且在各组之间相似。
