Which of the following diagnostic tools is more predictive in permanent teeth?
Correct Answer: Cariogram
Description: The Cariogram has been evaluated and found to be more predictive in permanent teeth than with preschool children.
The “Cariogram” is a computed caries-risk program that records several data points including past caries experience, diet, oral hygiene habits, fluoride exposures, and analysis of saliva.
The program then produces the results as a colored graph. This was well described by Gonzalez and Okunseri in 2010.
The different colors are as follows: red for bacteria, dark blue for diet, light blue for susceptibility-related factors, and yellow for the circumstance.
