Guidelines for Scoring Orthodontic Cases - Click Here For Detailed Information
Handicapping malocclusion and/or handicapping dentofacial deformity are conditions that constitute a hazard to the maintenance of oral health and interfere with the well-being of the patient by adversely affecting dentofacial function or speech.
The Connecticut Dental Health Partnership uses the J.A. Salzmann, Handicapping Malocclusion Assessment Record to determine the severity of malocclusion. The completed assessment record is used to calculate an index number ("Salzmann Scoring Index") which is one criteria used in the evaluation of the orthodontic case.
