The merit of the practice-profile-time study.

The practice-profile-time study is a method developed by Joint FDI/WHO Working Group 9 on the study of 'Economic factors related to the delivery of oral services and oral health' to record the time spent by general dental practitioners on different practice activities. The method was developed to support the policies of National Dental Associations, but can also be used by general dental practitioners themselves. This method was tested in nine countries. The method has proved to be reliable and valid, and produces a vast amount of useful information for Dental Associations and for individual practitioners.

Basic method for recording occlusal traits.

This article describes a basic method for the recording of malocclusion that has been developed jointly by the World Health Organization and the International Dental Federation. The method was developed and field-tested in the period 1969-78 and should provide investigators and health authorities with a common basis for assessing the prevalence of malocclusion in various parts of the world. It should also serve as a basic reference tool in the development of methods for assessing the need and demand for orthodontic treatment.
