    A new method uses standard computer cards and mark sensing technology to efficiently record and analyze decayed, missing, or filled (DMF) teeth data. This accessible approach simplifies dental data collection for research purposes.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Biostatistics
    • Health Informatics

    Background:

    • Dental caries (decayed, missing, or filled - DMF) assessment is crucial for public health.
    • Traditional DMF data collection can be labor-intensive and prone to errors.
    • Existing digital methods may require specialized equipment or complex software.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an accessible and efficient method for recording and analyzing DMF data.
    • To leverage readily available technology for dental research data management.
    • To create a flexible system adaptable for various research applications.

    Main Methods:

    • A dental chart schematic was designed on an 80-column computer card.
    • Mark sensing technology was employed to read the binary image of each column.
