“…[17][18][19] Within the term 'risk predictors' are grouped all those factors which, while being not directly related to the caries process itself, have been shown in longitudinal studies to be correlated with the appearance of new lesions. The main risk predictors are past exposure to caries, the presence of cavitated caries lesions or recent restorations placed due to caries, as well as demographic factors relating to the patient in terms of age, level of education and disabilities that potentially expose the patient to risk habits -a teenager with uncontrolled eating habits, the elderly where oral hygiene is more difficult to maintain due to loss of motor skills, education associated with the level of care one takes of oneself and harmful lifestyles, which expose people to situations of poor hygiene and failure to seek care.…”

VERIFIABLE CPD PAPERof its pathogenesis, its transmission, the demineralisation and remineralisation continuum, the mode of action of fluoride, but also with respect to the great technological developments in biomaterials, equipment for the detection of caries lesions and methods for cavity preparation. This new scientific knowledge combined with developments both technological and technique related, impose that both medically and ethically, the sole pertinent therapeutic model that is relevant is one that is based on prevention and treatment using the least invasive of approaches. This 'rational' model of care is known as minimal intervention dentistry and is applicable not only to cariology but to periodontology and all other areas of dentistry.

“…The development of new and powerful diagnostic and biostatistical technologies would help us in this identification process. Together, the merging of these considerations forms the rationale for attempting to predict future caries increment by risk models based on longitudinal data [Stamm et al, 1991].…”

The Value of a Baseline Caries Risk Assessment Model in the Primary Dentition for the Prediction of Caries Incidence in the Permanent Dentition

et al. 2001

To establish a reliable screening method for caries prediction and to identify predominant risk factors, this study tested whether a cross–sectional caries risk model assessed at age 7 could be used to predict future caries onset in the permanent first molars at age 10 in 3,303 children born in 1989. As prediction variables, assessing the believed risk, baseline data at age 7 on oral health status, oral hygiene level, oral health behaviour and sociodemographic factors were used. The real risk, based on data collected for the first permanent molars during the follow–up, was assessed by different approaches. Cumulative incidence during the 3–year observation period was 31.6%, ranging from 22.4% in the believed low–risk group to 43.2% in the believed high–risk group. A stepwise logistic regression analysis was performed with net caries increment as outcome measure, adjusted for the real time at risk, using eruption times. Baseline dmfs and occlusal and buccal plaque indices were highly significant for having a high caries increment in permanent first molars with respective odds ratios of 1.07, 1.43 and 1.35. Brushing less than once a day and the daily use of sugar–containing drinks between meals were confirmed as risk factors (OR 2.43 and 1.25, respectively). The logistic regression analysis provided a sensitivity of 59–66% and a specificity of 65.7–72.8%, which indicates that the risk marker did not have an important predictive power. None of the socio–demographic and behavioural variables had enough predictive power at community level to be useful for identifying caries susceptible children. Even the power of dmfs at baseline must be considered modest.

“…Soderholm and Birkhed (1988) defined "highly cariesactive" individuals as those with a DMFS increment of > 3 per 2 years. Stamm et al (1988Stamm et al ( , 1991 and Stewart and Stamm (1991) defined children with "high caries rates" as having a DMFS increment > 1 per year. Russell et al (1991) categorized the patients into low (< 1 DMFS increment per 2 years), medium (I1-2.5 DMFS increment per 2 years), and high (> 5 DMFS increment per 2 years) caries rates.…”

Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine

The definition of quality in operative dentistry has often, at least in part, been related to how well a cut preparation compares with an ideal preparation. The ideal preparation follows well-defined design principles. These design principles have their roots in empirical dentistry and scientific evaluations, the latter often being conducted in vitro. Because of the complexity of following these design principles practically, a large portion of dental education consists of perfecting cavity preparations. By focusing on how to cut these cavity preparations as closely as possible to the ideal preparation, dentists with high psycho-motor skills have been able to provide the public with restorative procedures of high standards over the years. However, because of the tendency of relating quality in operative dentistry to the ideal preparation, we found it justifiable to review the literature dealing with the cavity design principles of the Class II amalgam preparation. What triggered this review was a request from the International Dental Federation (FDI) to start a process leading to a scientifically based quality definition of dental restorations, a definition that determines how different factors, including cavity design principles, affect the longevity of both tooth and restoration. From our review, we conclude that patient response and restoration performance over time, rather than how closely a cavity preparation compares with the ideal preparation, will be of more significance in determining the longevity of a Class II amalgam restoration.
