Cariogram program

The 'Cariogram', which is an interactive PC-program for caries risk evaluation, illustrates the interaction between caries related factors and expresses the caries risk graphically. It also demonstrates a weighted impact of the different etiological factors on the risk. The aim of this paper was to use the Cariogram program on a set of patients, and to compare the outcome of its risk evaluation with those made by dental hygienists and dentists.

A questionnaire, containing the descriptions of five patients with detailed information on nine factors generally associated with caries, was given to the participants.

Comparing the caries risk assessment of the program with the actual caries increment over a five-year period showed that the program was able to arrange this group of elderly individuals into risk groups that reflected the actual caries incidence. The aim of the fifth study was to compare the risk profiles of the children with the risk profiles of the elderly.

Overall, the risk for caries, as assessed by the Cariogram, was twice as high for the elderly as for the children V. The present thesis also tries to explore the concept of risk, the terminology and definitions related to risk, risk management and risk assessment in dentistry.
