迄今为止，有限的证据表明，半口检查可用于流行病学调查，以准确估计牙周疾病的患病率。本研究调查了半口牙周检查的准确性和有效性的近中和颊部位的结果进行比较，从这些网站的全口的结果，将已获得的结果，通过检查只有两个随机选择的象限的牙齿在三个老年人的成年人口：263白人在爱荷华州，309白人在北卡罗来纳州，和384黑人在北卡罗来纳州。平均半口分数牙龈退缩，口袋深度，附着损失，范围和严重程度指数几乎相同的平均全口分数，平均值之间的相关性超过0.93。然而，在近中和颊侧部位患有中度或重度牙周病的人群比例被低估了13%。这项研究表明，半口检查可以准确和有效地估计平均牙周措施，但可能低估牙周疾病的患病率。
Limited evidence to date has suggested that half-mouth examinations can be used in epidemiological surveys for accurate estimation of the prevalence of periodontal conditions. This study investigated the accuracy and efficiency of half-mouth periodontal examinations of mesial and buccal sites by comparing whole-mouth findings from those sites with findings that would have been obtained by examining only two randomly selected quadrants of teeth in three older dentate adult populations: 263 whites in Iowa, 309 whites in North Carolina, and 384 blacks in North Carolina. Mean half-mouth scores for gingival recession, pocket depth, attachment loss, and Extent and Severity Index were almost identical to those of mean whole-mouth scores, with correlations between means exceeding 0.93. However, the proportions of the population having selected levels of moderate or severe periodontal disease in mesial and buccal sites were underestimated by as much as 13%. This study showed that half-mouth examinations can be accurate and efficient in estimating mean periodontal measures, but may underestimate the prevalence of periodontal conditions.
