Case Assessment and
Treatment Planning
Aesthetic Component
The Aesthetic
Component consists
of a scale of ten
colour photographs
showing different
levels of dental
attractiveness.
The dental
attractiveness of
prospective patients
can be rated with
reference to this
scale.
Grade 1 represents the most and Grade 10 the least
attractive arrangements of teeth. The score reflects the
aesthetic impairment. Photographs are used for dental case
assessment.

The Dental Health Component Ruler
(DHC Ruler)
The Dental Health Component facilitates the synthesis of the
current evidence for the deleterious effects of malocclusion.
The DHC records the various occlusal traits of a malocclusion
which would reduce the longevity of the dentition and
surrounding structures. There are five grades, Grade 1 and
2 representing no need for orthodontic treatment, Grade 3 a
borderline need for orthodontic treatment, and Grades 4 and 5
requiring orthodontic treatment on dental health grounds. Only
the worst occlusal trait is recorded.
This ruler has been designed to provide the information necessary
to record the DHC. The ruler has been developed for the clinical
setting in which information is collected regarding competence
of the lips, discrepancy between retruded contact position and
intercuspal position on closure and masticatory/speech problems.
