Reliability of clinical measurement is essential to any clinical discipline. This investigation assessed intraexaminer and interexaminer reliability achieved in identifying contacting teeth in the intercuspal position. Shim stock and an articulating film were compared in the evaluation of occlusal contacts of 337 antagonist occlusal pairs in 24 young adults by two examiners. Results were compared by use of a simple proportion of agreement and, when possible, the Kappa statistical test that corrects for chance agreement. Shim stock displayed better reliability than articulating film and appeared suitable for clinical measurement of occlusal contacts in intercuspal position.
临床测量的可靠性对任何临床学科都至关重要。本研究评估了在确定牙尖交错位时接触牙的检查者内和检查者间的可靠性。两位检查者使用垫片材料和咬合纸对24名年轻成年人的337对拮抗牙合牙的咬合接触进行评估。通过使用简单的一致性比例进行结果比较，并在可能的情况下，使用校正机遇一致性的Kappa统计检验。垫片材料显示出比咬合纸更好的可靠性，似乎适用于牙尖交错位咬合接触的临床测量。
