Oral hygiene index (OGI) is one of the important diagnostic indicators in dentistry, which helps to assess the state of oral hygiene. This article analyzes the opinions, approaches and scientific studies of various scientists on the determination of OGI. The development of OGI determination methods based on legal standards, its importance and effectiveness in modern dentistry are considered.
