In the present study, the current dental caries indices have been analyzed. The aim of the literature review was to evaluate and to analyze their advantages and disadvantages. Different approaches to detection and registration of dental caries have been observed and discussed. Further development of cariol-ogy initiates creation of a uniform system of registration and evaluation of the caries disease, which can be useful in oral science, dental education and in dental practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
