The use of different criteria to assess outcome of orthodontic treatment makes it difficult to compare treatment from one individual practitioner to the next. This article describes a method for all dentists to use to record outcome for self-audit purposes. A sample of 51 consecutively treated patients was assessed. On average, the mean percentage reduction in PAR score was 74 per cent. Eight per cent of patients were categorized as 'Worse or no different', 39 per cent 'Improved' and 53 per cent 'Greatly improved'. To achieve a good standard of orthodontic treatment it is proposed that the mean percentage reduction in PAR score should be greater than 70 per cent. The proportion of patients falling into the 'Worse or no different' category should ideally be less than 5 per cent.
使用不同的标准来评估正畸治疗的结果，使得难以比较不同个体从业者的治疗情况。本文描述了一种所有牙医都可用于记录结果以进行自我评估的方法。对连续治疗的51例患者样本进行了评估。平均而言，PAR评分的平均降低百分比为74%。8%的患者被归类为“更差或无差异”，39%为“改善”，53%为“显著改善”。为达到正畸治疗的良好标准，建议PAR评分的平均降低百分比应大于70%。理想情况下，归入“更差或无差异”类别的患者比例应小于5%。
