LOINC description : A malocclusion severity assessment, such as the Salzmann Evaluation Index, is composed
of a number of observations and measurements and used to help allocate treatment resources
when resources are limited. This assessment record (not an examination) is intended
to state whether a handicapping malocclusion is present and assess its severity according
to the criteria assigned to them. Point values may be assigned based on the effect
of the malocclusion on dental health, function, and aesthetics. The assessment is
not directed to ascertain the presence of occlusal deviations ordinarily included
in epidemiological surveys of malocclusion. Etiology, diagnosis, planning, complexity
of treatment, and prognosis are not factors in this assessment.;
