Outcome-Based Quality Control by a Dental Reference Profile of a Population-Based Study (SHIP-0)

Figure 1

Nomogram for seven dental practices (A to G) in comparison to participants of the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP-0). Quantile curves (black solid lines in the background with respective areas between quantile curves colored from light grey to dark grey) were calculated from SHIP-0 and present age-specific quantiles (5th, 25th, 45th, 50th, 55th, 75th, and 95th). For each dental practice, the age-specific median number of teeth is shown.
