Σύνοψη	The Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S) is a rapid, non-invasive assessment tool that evaluates the amount of plaque (debris) and calculus on tooth surfaces. Developed by Greene and Vermillion in 1964, it comprises two subscales: the Debris Index-Simplified (DI-S) measuring soft deposits and the Calculus Index-Simplified (CI-S) measuring hard deposits. The OHI-S is widely used in dental research, public health surveys, and clinical practice to assess oral hygiene status and evaluate the effectiveness of preventive interventions.	Periodontal probing is a clinical assessment technique that measures the depth of gingival crevices and periodontal pockets to diagnose periodontal disease. Introduced by the American Academy of Periodontology in the mid-20th century, it remains the gold standard for assessing periodontal health status. The procedure evaluates the clinical attachment level and recession depth to identify inflammation, attachment loss, and disease progression.
