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.;
