Objetive: To evaluate inter-rater reproducibility of two indices addressed at assessing tongue hygiene.Materials and Methods: A study about diagnostic technology evaluation was performed on a 100 subject sample who attended to dental clinics at Santo Tomas University. The modified Miyazaki’s index was ranked in the subjects in a qualitative and quantitative mode. For assessing the reproducibility levels, the Kappa Test and Spearman rank correlation were used.Results: The coefficient correlation was 0.70 ranked by Kappa statistics showing a good level of reproducibility. When analyzing the quantitative mode, Spearman rank inter-rater reproducibility level was0.83.Conclusion: The inter-rater reproducibility level obtained by Miyazaki’s modified index that allows for assessing the tongue hygiene in a qualitative and quantitative mode, showed it were good and consistent. |
