PhenX - oral health - presence of dental fluorosis protocol 081201
description
The Tooth Surface Index of Fluorosis (TSIF) assesses dental fluorosis for each tooth surface. Obtaining the Tooth Surface Index of Fluorosis (TSIF) requires a clinical examination by a trained dental professional, either a dentist or dental hygienist. Note from PhenX Oral Health Working Group (WG): There are laptop programs that can be used with this protocol, and the Oral Health WG recommends such a system as it does notify the recorder of correctable errors. An example of a paper data recording form is included as part of this protocol so that the user can see the format of such a data entry system. It also is advisable to have paper forms on hand in case of an electrical failure or some other problem that prohibits use of the electronic data entry system. The WG also recommends that when interested in the visible buccal/facial surfaces of the anterior teeth only, the lingual surfaces should not be scored.
