title: Treatment planning from study models: an examiner variability study.
abstract: Four orthodontists of comparable but differing experience examined fifty sets of study models obtained from a random sample of 12 year-old schoolgirls. On the basis of these study models only, assessments were made of need for treatment, for timing, length and complexity of treatment. The degrees of agreement have been analysed and discussed.
