Interval-censored time-to-event data occur in many medical areas, with dentistry or AIDS research being typical representatives. This article reviews methods for the analysis of such data, with an emphasis on the use of the accelerated failure time (AFT) model. A flexible AFT model (avoiding parametric assumptions on the distribution of the error term) is described in greater detail and is used to solve a typical dental question in a longitudinal oral health study.
