Protocol - Presence of Dental Fluorosis

Add to My Toolkit
Description

The Tooth Surface Index of Fluorosis (TSIF) assesses dental fluorosis for each tooth surface.

Specific Instructions

Obtaining the Tooth Surface Index of Fluorosis (TSIF) requires a clinical 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.

Protocol

To obtain the Tooth Surface Index of Fluorosis (TSIF), each fully erupted, unrestored tooth surface is examined and assigned a score on a 0 to 7 scale noted below. Two scores are assigned to the anterior teeth from the labial and lingual aspects, and three scores are assigned to the posterior teeth from the buccal, lingual, occlusal aspects. The tooth surfaces are not dried before the examination. The thought is that teeth should be assessed in their natural state and that those opacities that are visible only after drying should not be included in the definition of fluorosis (Rozier, 1994).

If more than one category of fluorosis exists on a tooth surface, for example, discrete pitting and staining (Score = 6) and confluent pitting (Score = 7), the highest numerical score is assigned to that surface.

The TSIF is not an interval scale, so the scores are not averaged. For the TSIF, there are a maximum of 72 scores per subject.

Clinical Criteria and Scoring System for the Tooth Surface Index of Fluorosis

(Score = 0)
Enamel shows no evidence of fluorosis.

(Score = 1)
Enamel shows definite evidence of fluorosis, namely areas with parchment-white color that total less than one-third of the visible enamel surface. This category includes fluorosis confined only to incisal edges of anterior teeth and cusp tips of posterior teeth ("snowcapping").

(Score = 2)
Parchment-white fluorosis totals at least one-third of the visible surface, but less than two-thirds.

(Score = 3)
Parchment-white fluorosis totals at least two-thirds of the visible surface.

(Score = 4)
Enamel shows staining in conjunction with any of the preceding levels of fluorosis. Staining is defined as an area of definite discoloration that may range from light to very dark brown.

(Score = 5)
Discrete pitting of the enamel exists, unaccompanied by evidence of staining of intact enamel. A pit is defined as a definite physical defect in the enamel surface with a rough floor that is surrounded by a wall of intact enamel. The pitted area is usually stained or differs in color from the surrounding enamel.

(Score = 6)
Both discrete pitting and staining of the intact enamel exist.

(Score = 7)
Confluent pitting of the enamel surface exists. Large areas of enamel may be missing and the anatomy of the tooth may be altered. Dark-brown stain is usually present.
