Which index is used to score the outcome of treatment in patients with cleft lip and palate?
Correct Answer: Goslon Yardstick
Description: Goslon Yardstick Index was given by Mars et al (1987) is an acronymn for Great Ormond Street, London and Oslo.
The Goslon (Great Ormond Street, London and Oslo) Yardstick is a clinical tool that allows categorization of the dental relationships in the late mixed and or early permanent dentition stage into five discrete categories. Cases are allocated to these categories on a value judgment basis by reference to the anchor groups of the Goslon Yardstick. The categorization was sufficiently sensitive to distinguish the treatment results at different centers. It is proposed that the Goslon Yardstick should facilitate cross-center studies.
