DENTAL EXAMINATION
     The oral health examination consisted of a visual and tactile oral and
     dental examination performed on examinees aged 1 year and over by a
     licensed dentist specially trained in the use of specific epidemiologic
     indices for oral health.
     Because this examination was administered in the mobile examination
     center (MEC), the MEC examination weight (WTPFEX6) should be used for
     data analysis.  For more information on the use of sample weights in
     analysis of NHANES III data, refer to Analytic and Reporting
     Guidelines (U.S. DHHS, 1996b).
     The oral and dental examination consisted of a number of separate
     components applied to different age ranges.
          Component                          Ages
          Oral mucosal tissue exam           2 years and over
          Dental caries exam
              Nursing bottle caries          12-23 months
              Coronal caries                 2 years and over
              Root caries                    18 years and over
          Presence of third molars           18 years and over
          Restorations and tooth conditions  18-74 years
          Traumatic injuries                 6-50 years
          Occlusal characteristics           8-50 years
          Periodontal diseases               13 years and over
          Prosthesis assessment              18-74 years
               If full dentures              18 years and over
          Denture questionnaire              18-74 years
               If completely edentulous      18 years and over
     Before NHANES III, most of the measurements had been extensively
     field-tested and, in some cases, modified to improve examiner
     consistency and reproducibility and reduce examination time.  Others
     were new for this survey but were pilot tested a number of times
     before being adapted and modified as necessary (Epidemiology and Oral
     Disease Prevention Program, National Institute of Dental Research,
     1991).  IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA USED ARE
     INTENTIONALLY CONSERVATIVE.  To maximize examiner consistency the
     general rule was that when a choice existed between two possible
     diagnoses, the less severe diagnosis was recorded.  Protocols for
     measuring each component are found in the Oral Examination Component
     manual (U.S. DHHS, 1996b).  However a few specific guidelines on
     certain elements of the oral health examination are included here for
     clarification.
     Medical Exclusion
     Before beginning the examination the dentist asked a series of questions
     about specific heart problems and conditions that might require
     antibiotics before a dental examination.  If there was a positive
     response to any of the questions, the examinee was excluded from the
     periodontal and root caries components.  Variable DEPMEDXC indicates
     those examinees who were medically excluded.  Periodontal and root
     caries variables for those excluded examinees are blank.
     Soft Tissue Lesions
     A broad range of soft tissue conditions was of interest in this
     survey with a focus on cancer, pre-cancer and conditions predisposing
     to cancer, and pathologies related to denture wearing and tobacco use.
     Examiners were trained to recognize, classify, and record in a
     standard manner the clinical characteristics of each condition of
     interest as well as other conditions that might present problems in
     differential diagnosis.  Diagnosis and location were recorded for all
     soft tissue abnormalities observed.  Clinical descriptions were done
     for all candidiasis, erythroplakias, leukoplakias, tumors, ulcers, and
     unknown lesions.  The clinical descriptions included size, surface
     morphology, color/s consistency, pain, duration, and prior history.
     Smears were taken on candidiasis, erythroplakias, leukoplakias,
     denture stomatitis, angular cheilitis, and medium rhomboid glossitis
     of the tongue.  Smear results are in the form of counts of yeast and
     hyphae grouped on an ordinal scale from none to many.
     Additional lesion information was collected on occurrence of ulcers or
     sores (cold sores, canker sores) on lips and in the mouth in the
     Household Youth Questionnaire and the Household Adult Questionnaire.
     Extensive questions about use of tobacco including snuff and chewing
     tobacco are found in the MEC Youth Questionnaire for examinees ages 8-16
     years, and in the Household Adult Questionnaire and MEC Adult
     Questionnaire for those ages 17 and over.  These questionnaires are
     found in the Household Adult Data File and the Household Youth Data
     File.
     Dental Caries
     The examiner used a mirror and #23 explorer for the DMFS/T index
     (Klein, 1938), which is the sum of the number of decayed, missing or
     filled permanent tooth surfaces/teeth and is, thus, a summary of
     cumulative caries experience.  If a tooth surface was both carious and
     filled, only the caries was scored so some history of fillings is not
     included.  For teeth scored as missing, posterior teeth receive a
     count of five missing surfaces and anterior teeth receive a count of
     four missing surfaces.  The occlusal surface is not counted for
     anterior teeth.  A place-holder variable for these surfaces maintains
     the five-surface pattern (occlusal, lingual, buccal, mesial, distal) to
     facilitate systematic surface selection by analysts.  Third molars are
     only indicated as present or absent.  The index uses letters for the
     examiners calls which have been recoded as numbers from 00 to 13.
     Sealed surfaces have been recoded separately.  For children 12 to 23
     months of age a brief visual inspection for the presence or absence of
     early childhood caries in the maxillary incisors was conducted.  From
     the DMFS/T index, sums or counts per person of decayed, missing or
     filled permanent or primary surfaces and teeth were made (DEPFMS1,
     DEPFMS2, DEPDFSP, DEPDFSDC, DEPDFTDC, DEPDMFT1, DEPDMFT2).  Only persons
     with at least one permanent tooth space code indicated were eligible for
     permanent DMFS/T counts.  Only children with at least one primary tooth
     space code indicated were eligible for the dfs/t sums.

     Root Caries
     The area below the cemento-enamel junction, if visible, was also
     examined for decay and filling on the roots of permanent teeth in
     adults 18 years and over.  Each individual surface, four per tooth,
     was examined and coded separately.
     Periodontal Measures
     For adolescents and adults ages 13 years and over the periodontal
     measures were done on randomly assigned half-mouths, one upper
     quadrant and one lower quadrant selected at the beginning of the
     examination.  The buccal and mesial-buccal aspects of each tooth were
     scored separately for each periodontal measure: gingival bleeding,
     calculus, gingival recession, and pocket depth.  Loss of attachment
     was derived from two measurements made at each site:  (1) the distance
     from the free gingival margin (FGM) to the cemento-enamel junction
     (CEJ), and (2) the distance from the FGM to the bottom of the sulcus
     (pocket depth).  When the gingival margin had receded and the CEJ was
     exposed, the first number was scored as a negative value and was an
     indication of gingival recession.  The loss (level) of attachment
     variables were calculated by subtracting the recorded distance of the
     FGM to CEJ (1) from the recorded distance of the FGM to the base of
     the sulcus (2).
     Restorations and Tooth Conditions
     To obtain further information on the impact of dental caries and tooth
     restoration beyond the DMF index, a measure of selected restoration
     and tooth conditions was applied to the 28 permanent teeth or tooth
     spaces for dentate adults aged 18 to 74 years.  Teeth or tooth spaces
     were classified based on the following criteria:  defective
     intracoronal restorations, crowns, or bridges; gross loss of tooth
     structure associated with a restoration; pulpal involvement; or
     retained roots.  This index is hierarchical and only the highest score
     is recorded for each tooth space.  Therefore, a total estimate of
     individual conditions evaluated cannot be obtained.
     Trauma
     To obtain an estimate of the prevalence of tooth or dental trauma an
     index was developed to track the permanent tooth from sound (no
     evidence of trauma) through "missing due to trauma."  The index is
     based on clinical, non-radiographic evidence of tooth injury and
     treatment received by the eight, permanent incisors, including a
     positive history of injury obtained from the examinee.  Problems or
     biases associated with recall memory, particularly in adults, makes
     this a very conservative estimate of tooth trauma.  The trauma
     assessment index was applied immediately following the caries
     examination for dentate participants ages 6 to 50 years with at least
     one permanent incisor.

     Occlusal Characteristics
     Occlusal traits were measured on all examinees 8 to 50 years old.
     Disaggregated measures of the major characteristics of occlusion
     included were:  anterior alignment or irregularity score for maxillary
     and mandibular incisors, midline diastema, posterior crossbite;
     overjet, and overbite/openbite.  For all individual measurements, an
     assessment that could not be made (due to missing teeth) was recorded
     as excluded and 9-filled.  Assessment of overbite was made using the
     right central incisors.  If one or both of the right central incisors
     (upper or lower) were not fully erupted or were missing or fractured,
     the left permanent central incisors were substituted.  If the latter
     could not be scored, no further substitution was made.  Measurements
     were made to the nearest whole millimeter.  For openbite, a single
     measurement was made of the distance in millimeters from the edge of
     the lower central incisor to the edge of the upper central incisor.
     Incisor alignment measured in millimeters the linear displacement of
     anatomic contact points of each maxillary and mandibular incisor from
     the adjacent tooth anatomic point.  The sum of these five
     displacements represents the degree of irregularity in the alignment
     of incisors in each jaw.  Contacts were scored only if both teeth had
     erupted to the level of the occlusal plane.  Presence or absence of
     crossbite was scored only for posterior primary or permanent teeth
     that had erupted into occlusal contact.  A diastema was scored if a
     space was present between the maxillary central incisors equal to or
     greater than two millimeters wide.  Overjet was measured from the mid-
     point of the labial surface of the anterior lower incisor to the mid-
     point of the labial surface of the anterior upper incisor, parallel to
     the occlusal plane.  The overjet was positive if the upper incisor was
     ahead of the lower incisor, zero if the upper and lower incisors were
     end to end and negative if the lower incisor was in front of the upper
     incisor.  Questions on receipt of orthodontic treatment are found in
     the Household Youth Questionnaire for persons ages 2 months to 16
     years and the Household Adult Questionnaire for those ages 17-50.
     Prosthesis Assessment
     For persons 18 to 74 years of age and all persons over 18 with full
     dentures, a prosthetic evaluation was done.  For prosthetic
     assessment, the arch-specific presence or absence of a removable
     prothesis by type (full or partial denture) was recorded.  When
     present the prosthesis was evaluated for five characteristics:
     integrity; excessive tooth wear; reline material, conditioner, or
     denture adhesive; stability, and retention.  Positive scores were
     assigned for each characteristic if the prosthesis met the following
     criteria: 1) integrity--fractures, cracks, or holes of the base
     material and/or missing or chipped teeth and/or broken clasps, rests,
     or broken portions of the framework; 2) excessive tooth wear--greater
     than one-half of bicuspid and molar teeth lack occlusal anatomy; 3)
     presence of temporary reline material, tissue conditioner, or denture
     adhesive; 4) stability--full dentures move 2 mm or more in one
     direction when the denture is manually moved laterally or partial
     denture occlusal rests or indirect retainers move 1 mm or more when
     unilateral or bilateral forces are applied to the denture base and 5)
     retention--the denture dislodges when the examinee opens the mouth
     wide without strain.  The first three of these were made extraorally;
     the last two were made with the prosthesis in the mouth.  All-resin
     partial dentures were excluded.  Only one partial denture per arch was
     evaluated.  Where two partials were present in a single arch, the
     partial replacing the most teeth or for equal spans, the one in the
     right quadrant was selected for evaluation.  Tooth or implant-retained
     overdentures were treated the same as tissue-borne full dentures.
     Prostheses with a positive score on 3) reline material, conditioner,
     or denture adhesive, automatically received positive scores for 4)
     stability and 5) retention.  Conversely, fully tooth-supported partial
     dentures were automatically given scores of "zero" for 2) excessive
     tooth wear and for 3) reline material, conditioner, or denture
     adhesive.  In addition, during the examination, adults 18 to 74 years
     of age who were edentulous in one arch and all totally edentulous
     persons 18 and over were asked four questions about their use of
     dentures and length of time without natural teeth.
     Training and Quality Control
     The National Institute of Dental Research (NIDR) and the dental
     consultant provided extensive training of the dental examiners at
     their time of hire.  One examiner was available for the entire six
     years and performed about half of the examinations.  Three more
     examiners and one back-up examiner performed the rest of the exams.
     As part of quality control, a separate "gold standard" examiner
     visited each dental examiner one or two times a year in the MEC for
     observation and to perform replicate exams of most indices on
     approximately 30 persons.  Each examiner also performed replicate
     examinations on selected sample persons within the six week
     examination period available at each location.  For all major
     components of the examination the intra- and inter-examiner measures
     were in satisfactory ranges (Brown, 1996a; Brown, 1996b; Brunelle, 1996;
     Drury, 1996; Kaste, 1996a; Kaste, 1996b; Marcus, 1996; Redford, 1996;
     Selwitz, 1996; Winn, 1996; White, 1996).
     Additional Information
     Data processing and editing were performed to ensure internal
     consistency of data.  Notes are provided for variables where
     additional explanations are necessary.  The dental data set differs
     from other NHANES III data sets in the use of two data processing
     conventions for variables with categorical responses.  They are,
     however, consistent with dental data from past NHANES and with other
     dental surveys conducted by NIDR.  The first deviation concerns the
     use of 9-fills which mean "Could not be assessed" or "Unknown."  In
     other NHANES III files, the 9-fill means the respondent did not know
     the answer.  The other deviation pertains to the use of "zero" which,
     in categorical data, usually means "none," "never," or the equivalent.
     In the dental data set, however, a zero is a code for something else,
     for example, "Tooth present but excluded" in the coronal caries
     examination (surfaces and teeth), "Sound surface" in the root caries
     examination, or "No treatment needed" in the restorations and tooth
     conditions section.

     NOTES
     DEPCCFLG:  Completion code:  coronal caries
          This variable was constructed to help the analyst decide whether
          or not to include an examinee with incomplete or missing data on
          the coronal caries component in the analysis of that component.
          Examinees who have no valid or useful data have a completion code
          of "3  Not assessed."
     DEPCJFLG, DEPCLFLG, DEPGNFLG, DEPLAFLG, DEPPCFLG:  Completion codes
          These variables were constructed to help the analyst decide whether
          or not to include an examinee with incomplete or missing data on
          the periodontal component in the analysis of that component.  For
          examinees who were medically excluded from periodontal components
          or who were not in the age range to receive these assessments, the
          periodontal component data and the completion code are blank.
          Examinees who were completely edentulous or who otherwise have no
          valid or useful data have a completion code of "3  Not assessed."
     DEPCLFLG:  Completion code:  calculus
          See note for DEPCJFLG.
     DEPDQFLG:  Completion code:  denture questionnaire
          This variable was constructed to help the analyst decide whether
          or not to include an examinee with incomplete or missing data on
          the denture questionnaire in the analysis of that component.  For
          examinees who were not in the age range to receive these
          assessments, the denture questionnaire data and the completion
          code are blank.
     DEPGNFLG:  Completion code:  gingival bleeding
          See note for DEPCJFLG.
     DEPLAFLG:  Completion code:  loss of attachment
          See note for DEPCJFLG.

     DEPLQUAD and DEPUQUAD:  Upper and lower quadrant periodontal
               assessment indicators
          The right and left upper and lower quadrant indicators for the
          periodontal components were generated by the direct data entry
          computer program at the beginning of the examination.  Therefore,
          indicators may be present for examinees who did not have
          measurements or who were edentulous.  Note that because the value
          for the periodontal component is blank, while the quadrant
          indicators remained set, there will be a discrepancy between
          these counts.
     DEPOVB:  Occlusal characteristics:  overbite (mm)
          Overbite was calculated by subtraction of overlap from crown
          height.  The exact measurement process is fully described in the
          Oral Examination Component manual (U.S. DHHS, 1996b).
     DEPPCFLG:  Completion code:  pocket assessment
          See note for DEPCJFLG.
     DEPRCFLG:  Completion code:  restorations and tooth conditions
          This variable was constructed to help the analyst decide whether
          or not to include an examinee with incomplete or missing data on
          the restorations and tooth conditions component in the analysis
          of that component.  For examinees who were not in the age range
          to receive these assessments, the restoration and tooth
          conditions data and the completion code are blank.  Examinees who
          were completely edentulous or who otherwise have no valid or
          useful data have a completion code of "3  Not assessed."
     DEPRSFLG:  Completion code:  root caries
          This variable was constructed to help the analyst decide whether
          or not to include an examinee with incomplete or missing data on
          the root caries component in the analysis of that component.  For
          examinees who were medically excluded from the root caries
          component or who were not in the age range to receive the
          assessment, the component data and the completion code are blank.
          Examinees who were completely edentulous or who otherwise have no
          valid or useful data have a completion code of "3  Not assessed."
     DEPSE1-DEPSE28:  Sealants
          The code "2  Not eligible for sealants" was used 1) for certain
          teeth not shaped to hold preventive sealants and 2) for missing,
          crowned, or filled teeth.

     DEPSTCL1, DEPSTCL2, DEPSTCL3, DEPSTCL4, DEPSTCL5, DEPSTCL6:
               Oral soft tissue lesions:  color
          More than one color could be indicated for each lesion.  Each
          color is a single digit, so multiple digits indicate combinations
          of colors.  To determine what specific colors were present, one
          must separate character strings into their single characters.
     DEPSTDX1, DEPSTDX2, DEPSTDX3, DEPSTDX4, DEPSTDX5, DEPSTDX6:
               Oral soft tissue lesions:  clinical diagnosis
          The "unknown" code represents a specific diagnosis of a lesion
          that did not fit into any of the named categories.  A lesion of
          "unknown" diagnosis required a clinical description.  The "other"
          codes (46 to 59) include identifiable lesions that were different
          from soft tissue lesions of interest.  During the examination,
          the dentist wrote in a diagnosis for lesions designated as
          "other."  During data processing the 13 most frequently observed
          written-in conditions were grouped and coded separately (codes
          47-59); the remaining rarer conditions were retained in code 46.
     DEPSTLC1, DEPSTLC2, DEPSTLC3, DEPSTLC4, DEPSTLC5, DEPSTLC6:
               Oral soft tissue lesions:  locations
          More than one location could be indicated for each clinical
          diagnosis.  Multiple locations are shown as combined letters and
          numbers.  To determine what specific locations were affected, one
          must separate character strings into their single characters.
     DEPTRFLG:  Completion code:  traumatic injuries
          This variable was constructed to help the analyst decide whether
          or not to include an examinee with incomplete or missing data on
          the traumatic injuries component in the analysis of that
          component.  For examinees who were not in the age range to
          receive these assessments, the traumatic injuries data and the
          completion code are blank.  Examinees who were completely
          edentulous or who otherwise have no valid or useful data have a
          completion code of "3  Not assessed."
