Objectives:
The aim of the study is to assess the reliability and validity of a schedule to determine the normative denture treatment needs of older people.
Design:
The design used assessed inter-examiner reliability (criterion validity), test-retest reliability, and content and face validity of the schedule.
Setting:
The inter-examiner reliability study took place in a Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, the remainder of the work took place in a community setting.
Results:
The results showed that the schedule in terms of an index performed well with reasonable inter-examiner and test-retest reliability. Difficulties however were encountered with regard to subjective judgements about denture quality and design; consequently, there was modest inter-examiner agreement for stability, retention, and occlusal balance.
Conclusions:
The findings from this preliminary work suggest that the schedule may be useful in the assessment of normative denture treatment need in a community setting. Nevertheless more work will be required to obtain further information on the validity of this new assessment measure.

The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
