Abstract :
We, the authors of the original publication presenting the PUFA/pufa index of clinical consequences of untreated dental car- ies , read with interest the publication by Baginska and Sto- kowska entitled ‘Pulpal involvement-roots-sepsis index: a new method for describing the clinical consequences of untreated den- tal caries’ recently published in Medical Principles and Practice. In their publication, Baginska and Stokowska used the original PUFA index and then made comparisons with their proposed modifications to the index: the pulpal involvement-roots-sepsis (PRS/prs) index.
