Objectives The purpose of this in vitro reliability study was to determine the intra- and inter-examiner agreement of the revised FDI criteria including the categories "fracture of material and retention" (F1) and "caries at restoration margin" (B1). Materials and methods Forty-nine photographs of direct tooth-coloured posterior (n = 25) and anterior (n = 24) restorations with common deficiencies were included. Ten dental experts repeated the assessment in three blinded rounds. Later, the experts re-evaluated together all photographs and agreed on a reference standard. Statistical analysis included the calculation of Cohen's (C kappa), Fleiss' (F kappa), and weighted Kappa (w kappa), the development of a logistic regression with a backward elimination model and Bland/Altman plots.Results Intra- and inter-examiner reliability exhibited mostly moderate to substantial C kappa, F kappa, and w kappa values for posterior restorations (e.g. Intra: F1 C kappa = 0.57, w kappa = 0.74; B1 C kappa = 0.57, w kappa = 0.73/Inter F1 F kappa = 0.32, w kappa = 0.53; B1 F kappa = 0.41, w kappa = 0.64) and anterior restorations (e.g. Intra F1 C kappa = 0.63, w kappa = 0.76; B1 C kappa = 0.48, w kappa = 0.68/Inter F1 F kappa = 0.42, w kappa = 0.57; B1 F kappa = 0.40, w kappa = 0.51). Logistic regression analyses revealed significant differences between the evaluation rounds, examiners, categories, and tooth type.

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this in vitro reliability study was to determine the intra- and inter-examiner agreement of the revised FDI criteria including the categories "fracture of material and retention" (F1) and "caries at restoration margin" (B1). Materials and methods Forty-nine photographs of direct tooth-coloured posterior (n = 25) and anterior (n = 24) restorations with common deficiencies were included. Ten dental experts repeated the assessment in three blinded rounds. Later, the experts re-evaluated together all photographs and agreed on a reference standard. Statistical analysis included the calculation of Cohen's (C kappa), Fleiss' (F kappa), and weighted Kappa (w kappa), the development of a logistic regression with a backward elimination model and Bland/Altman plots.Results Intra- and inter-examiner reliability exhibited mostly moderate to substantial C kappa, F kappa, and w kappa values for posterior restorations (e.g. Intra: F1 C kappa = 0.57, w kappa = 0.74; B1 C kappa = 0.57, w kappa = 0.73/Inter F1 F kappa = 0.32, w kappa = 0.53; B1 F kappa = 0.41, w kappa = 0.64) and anterior restorations (e.g. Intra F1 C kappa = 0.63, w kappa = 0.76; B1 C kappa = 0.48, w kappa = 0.68/Inter F1 F kappa = 0.42, w kappa = 0.57; B1 F kappa = 0.40, w kappa = 0.51). Logistic regression analyses revealed significant differences between the evaluation rounds, examiners, categories, and tooth type. Both the intra- and inter-examiner reliability increased along with the evaluation rounds. The overall agreement was higher for anterior restorations compared to posterior restorations.Conclusions The overall reliability of the revised FDI criteria set was found to be moderate to substantial.
