The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Aim: To evaluate any relationship between ICON, IOTN and PAR To establish whether or not ICON could replace these indices as a measure of orthodontic treatment complexity, outcome and need. Method: The study models of 55 consecutively treated cases were examined and PAR, IOTN and ICON recorded. Results: The study showed significant correlations between IOTN and ICON with respect to need and PAR and ICON with respect to outcome. Conclusion: It appears that ICON does reflect UK opinion and the current study provides some evidence that ICON may effectively replace PAR and IOTN as a means of determining need and outcome.
