This study presents a broad overview of the fundamental questions involved in evaluating orthodontic treatment methods using a formalized index system. Eismann's numerical success evaluation, which he published 25 years ago and which is an example of this method, is examined in some detail. Both the dividends and limits of the Eismann method are discussed on the basis of our own studies and those of others and modifications to the method are suggested. Not withstanding the limitations inherent in any model based analysis, the Eismann approach is shown to be superior to many similar systems and it thus remains the method of choice for conducting scientific studies of the course of treatment over time. In addition possibilities of further developing and enhancing the method are presented.
本研究对使用形式化指标体系评估正畸治疗方法所涉及的基本问题进行了全面概述。艾斯曼25年前发表的数值成功评估就是这种方法的一个例子，本文对此进行了详细研究。基于我们自己和他人的研究，讨论了艾斯曼方法的优点和局限性，并提出了对该方法的改进建议。尽管任何基于模型的分析都存在固有局限性，但艾斯曼方法被证明优于许多类似系统，因此它仍然是随时间推移对治疗过程进行科学研究的首选方法。此外，还介绍了进一步发展和完善该方法的可能性。
