Method: Attention is drawn to skewed distribution dental within given population, indicating that there are still large groups who have considerably more than WHO/FDI target level DMFT 3 by year 2000. The index calculated as follows: sorted according their values. one third population score selected and mean for this subgroup calculated. This value constitutes SiC Index.
