Scores | 1. Surface lustre | 2. Staining a. Surface b. Margin | 3. Color match and translucency |
|
1. Clinically excellent/very good | 1.1 Luster comparable to enamel | 2a.1 No surface staining 2b.1 No marginal staining | 3.1 Good color match, no difference in shade and/or translucency |
|
2. Clinically good (after polishing probably very good) | 1.2.1 Slightly dull, not noticeable from speaking distance 1.2.2 Some isolated pores | 2a.2 Minor surface staining, easily removable by polishing 2b.2 Minor marginal staining, easily removable by polishing | 3.2 Minor deviations in shade and/or translucency |
|
3. Clinically sufficient/satisfactory (minor shortcomings, no unacceptable effects, but not adjustable w/o damage to the tooth) | 1.3.1 Dull surface but acceptable if covered with film or saliva 1.3.2 Multiple pores on more than one-third on the surface | 2a.3 Moderate surface staining, not esthetically unacceptable 2b.3 Moderate marginal staining, not esthetically unacceptable | 3.3 Distinct deviation but acceptable. Does not affect esthetics: 3.3.1 More opaque 3.3.2 More translucent 3.3.3 Darker 3.3.4 Brighter |
|
4. Clinically unsatisfactory (but reparable) | 1.4.1 Rough surface, cannot be masked by saliva film, simple polishing is not sufficient. Further intervention necessary 1.4.2 Voids | 2a.4 Unacceptable surface staining; major intervention necessary for improvement 2b.4 Pronounced marginal staining; major intervention necessary for improvement | 3.4 Localized clinical deviation that can be corrected by repair 3.4.1 Too opaque 3.4.2 Too translucent 3.4.3 Too dark 3.4.4 Too bright |
|
5. Clinically poor (replacement necessary) | 1.5 Very rough, unacceptable plaque retentive surface | 2a.5 Severe surface and/or subsurface staining, generalized or localized, not accessible for intervention 2b.5 Deep marginal staining not accessible for intervention | 3.5 Unacceptable. Replacement necessary |
