GI Score | QHTMI Score |
---|---|
Score 0 = No inflammation | Score 0 = No plaque |
Score 1 = Mild inflammation. Gingiva slightly changes in color and little change in texture | Score 1 = Separate fleck of plaque on the tooth |
Score 2 = Moderate inflammation. Gingiva moderately glazing, redness, edema, and hypertrophy. Tendency to bleed upon probing | Score 2 = A thin continuous band of plaque |
Score 3 = Severe inflammation. Marked redness and hypertrophy of gingiva. Tendency to spontaneous bleeding | Score 3 = A band of plaque up to one-third of the tooth |
Score 4 = Plaque covering up to two-thirds of the tooth | |
Score 5 = Plaque covering two-thirds of the crown of the tooth. |
