Resumen

The measurement of orthodontic treatment results is crucial to objectively assess the quality of the completion and success of therapy, and in turn in the evaluation of graduate orthodontic residents. The literature has reported several systems that analyze these results, but some do not integrate sufficient criteria or diagnostic aids. CES University, based on the American Board of Orthodontics - Objective Grading System (ABO-OGS), has developed an index with 16 criteria analyzed in models, radiographs and photographs, which allow an objective measurement of the completion of treatments. The purpose of this article was to describe the CES Board Index (IBC) as a tool for assessing clinical outcomes in orthodontics and generate feedback for the treatment of future cases improving their quality. This index could be used in Universities and in private practices.
