The prevalence of orthodontic treatment need.
The prevalence of unmet orthodontic treatment need amongst 955 12-year-old Sheffield children has been assessed using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need [I.O.T.N.]. The Index was found to be quick and simple to use, and demonstrated very good levels of intra-examiner agreement.
