PID = Plaque index for deciduous teeth, PIP = Plaque index for permanent teeth, PIT = Plaque index for all teeth, GID = Gingival index for deciduous teeth, GIP = Gingival index for permanent teeth, GIT=Gingival index for all teeth. PDD = probing depth for deciduous teeth, PDP= probing depth for permanent teeth, PDT=probing depth for all teeth.
