 Abstract

Caries risk assessment is the determination of the likelihood of the incidence of caries during a certain time period or the likelihood that there will be a change in the size or activity of lesions already present. This type of assessment not only creates awareness about the existence and susceptibility of a disease but also helps in planning a prevention protocol. Risk assessment tools allow practitioners, physicians, and healthcare providers to become more actively involved in identifying high-risk children. Even though caries-risk data in dentistry are still insufficient to quantitate the models, the process of determining risk should be a component in the clinical decision-making process. They provide increased predictability of dental caries prior to disease initiation, which is important with the increasing trend towards preventive dentistry. The objective of this study is to predict the risk of dental caries in children using the Caries Risk Assessment (CRA) tool.
