BACKGROUND To validate baseline caries risk classifications according to the Cariogram model with the actual caries development over a 3-year period in a group of young adults living in Sweden. METHODS The study group consisted of 1,295 19-year-old patients that completed a comprehensive clinical baseline examination, including radiographs and salivary tests. An individual caries risk profile...

For several decades, Swedish researchers, clinicians and educators have recognized risk assessment as an important part of routine management of dental caries. Innovative caries risk assessment models, such as the Cariogram software program, have been developed to systematize the evaluation of various risk factors for caries and to develop targeted prevention interventions based on caries risk....

OBJECTIVES To assess the caries risk and contribution of diet, bacteria, circumstances and susceptibility sectors among special groups in comparison to the normal group of Udaipur using the Cariogram model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A Cariogram model was used to identify risk factors among 160 subjects (40 mentally challenged, 60 visually impaired and 60 normal healthy individuals) aged 7-36 year...

OBJECTIVES To analyze various caries-related factors in orthodontic patients at de-bonding, and to test the null hypothesis that there is no difference in caries risk between governmental and private orthodontic patients immediately after orthodontic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional examination was carried out on 89 orthodontic patients aged 13-29 years, mean age 21.5 years....

UNLABELLED Identifying caries risk factors is an important measure which contributes to best understanding of the cariogenic profile of the patient. The Cariogram software provides this analysis, and protocols simplifying the method were suggested. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine whether a newly developed Caries Risk Assessment (CRA) form based on the Cariogram software coul...

background: to assess the caries risk among 12‑years old children using the cariogram and to evaluate it by comparing with the actual change in dmft and dmfs over a period of two year. methods: a two year prospective study was conducted among 12 years age group school going children in davangere city. at the baseline relevant and required information regarding the oral hygiene, diet, fluoride u...

BACKGROUND Predicting future risk for oral diseases, treatment need and prognosis are tasks performed daily in clinical practice. A large variety of methods have been reported, ranging from clinical judgement or "gut feeling" or even patient interviewing, to complex assessments of combinations of known risk factors. In clinical practice, there is an ongoing continuous search for less complicate...

tor: time [1]. There is no single test that takes into consideration all these factors and can accurately predict an individual’s susceptibility to caries. The risk of dental caries can be evaluated by analysing and integrating several causative factors. These include caries experience, fluoride use, extent of plaque present, diet, bacterial and salivary activity and social and behavioral facto...

Objective: Vitamin D plays a very important role in improving oral and dental health as well general health. The present study aims to evaluate the risk of caries development children with without vitamin deficiency using Cariogram model.
 Methods: This included total 75 healthy aged 6-12 years, which 50 (35 girls 15 boys) had different levels deficiency, 25 (12 13 none. Their developing n...
