Detection at an early stage and monitoring of caries lesions is fundamental for managing the disease at the tooth surface level. Furthermore, caries risk assessment is important in order to implement risk-related management to avoid start of new lesions. Several methods have been developed to detect lesions at an early enough stage to
The two strongest risk factors associated with early childhood caries in high- or upper-middle-income categories were: (a) the presence of enamel defects; and (b) high levels of mutans streptococci.
For caries risk assessment (CRA) tools for young children to be evidence-based, it is important to systematically review the literature to identify factors associated with the onset of early childhood caries (ECC).
Two downloadable ADA’s Caries Risk Assessment forms were developed as practice tools to help dentists evaluate a patient’s risk of developing caries. One form is for patients ages 0-6 years of age and the other is for patients over 6 years of age.
1 kwi 2020 · The best caries risk indicators are previous caries experience and the longitudinal evaluation of lesion progression (increased dimension/ cavitation of white spot lesions or presence of new lesions) at recall visits. Other useful caries risk indicators useful in children are: whether the mother/caregiver has active caries,
15 mar 2019 · Meta-analysis revealed that the strongest risk factors found in the high-income countries were presence of dentinal caries (dmft greater than zero; odds ratio [OR] equals 4.21 [2.18 to 8.16]) and high levels of mutans streptococci (OR equals 3.83 [1.81 to 8.09]).
