Muhtasari	The Dental Erosion Index is a systematic clinical assessment tool that quantifies the severity of tooth surface loss caused by non-carious erosive agents (acidic substances, mechanical abrasion, or biological factors). Multiple index systems exist (e.g., Lussi Index, Basic Erosive Wear Examination or BEWE), each scoring erosion based on the extent and depth of surface loss on coronal and cervical tooth surfaces. Erosion assessment is critical for identifying patients at risk for advanced tooth loss, determining preventive interventions, and guiding restorative management.	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.
