Study Notes
Salivary Analysis and Caries Classification Systems
- Salivary analysis is important for caries susceptibility testing (CRA) and includes quantitative and qualitative tests.
- Quantitative tests include resting and stimulated salivary flow rate testing, with values less than 0.1 ml/min or 0.7 ml/min indicating high caries risk.
- Qualitative tests include buffering capacity, salivary pH, and consistency, with high pH favoring mineral deposition.
- Plaque testing can also be done using tri plaque ID gel to identify active and recent plaque.
- The CAMPRA system supports clinicians in making decisions and achieving successful outcomes in caries management.
- The caries imbalance model involves an imbalance of remineralization and demineralization affected by three main factors: "BAD" (Bacteria, Acid, and Diet).
- Cariogram is a simple and free tool that shows the primary factors involved in causing caries.
- The Mount classification system (1998) categorizes dental caries by site and stage of the lesion.
- The International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) was introduced in 2003 to standardize caries detection and assess activity on various surfaces.
- ICDAS uses a 2-digit system to classify restorative status and caries severity/activity.
- The ICDA-II modifications (2005) recommend using a ball-end explorer for diagnosis and reduced the codes to four.
- The International Caries Classification and Management System (ICCMS) categorizes caries into three stages based on histological findings: Early-detected, Established, and Severe.
