Examiner calibration was performed prior to the study using a representative set of intraoral scans. Calibration was repeated until consensus regarding the application of the scoring criteria was achieved before formal data collection. Scores for all sextants were recorded for BEWE and TWES 2.0. Inter-rater agreement was primarily assessed using weighted kappa coefficients, as BEWE and TWES 2.0 are ordinal, numerically coded indices. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were additionally used to assess systematic directional differences between paired scores. Statistical significance was set at p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>BEWE demonstrated good reliability, with weighted kappa values ranging from 0.760 to 0.851 across sextants, 0.868 for the total BEWE score, and an overall weighted kappa of 0.841. TWES 2.0 showed moderate to good reliability, with weighted kappa values ranging from 0.543 to 0.761 across sextants and an overall weighted kappa of 0.715.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both BEWE and TWES 2.0 are reliable and practical for screening noncarious tooth wear via intraoral scans. BEWE showed slightly higher inter-rater consistency, whereas TWES 2.0 allows more detailed evaluation of occlusal and palatal surfaces. These indices can support standardized monitoring, early detection, and clinical management of tooth wear. Examiner calibration remains essential, particularly for TWES 2.0.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec005\">\n                    <jats:title>Clinical trial
