According to dentists from the Periodontology Department, Clinical Trials Unit, Bristol Dental School, Bristol, UK, it has been noted that the MGI score from the scanned image was very similar to the MGI scored clinically.
The study is published in the Journal of Dentistry.
Hence, Sinéad Daly and colleagues conducted the study to compare gingival inflammation scores obtained chairside using the non-invasive modified gingival index (MGI) with MGI scores from an intraoral scan (IOS) captured at the clinical visit but viewed 10 days later.
