A method was developed in which a dental chart schematic, printed on a standard 80‐column computer card, could be used to record DMF data for analysis using mark sensing technology. The binary image of each column was read by a standard card reader and this information was used to create a detailed DMF analysis. This method uses readily available technology and could be modified for many research purposes.
