Creating Digital Dental Plaque Scoring

"The Turesky Modified Quigley Hein Plaque Index of anterior teeth of the volunteers' was recorded using clinical visual examination.~Intraoral photographs of the volunteers were taken by using a digital camera and 3D images were recorded by an intraoral scanner. The plaque-covered area and the total surface area of the teeth were marked in the manual mode of the Image J program and the areas were measured in square pixels. The correlation between clinical visual scoring, dental plaque areas on images were compared."
