Title of your Abstract : Caries Risk Assessmen
Destination Country : Malaysia
From : Monday, March 27, 2017
To : Wednesday, March 29, 2017
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Since dental caries is of complex and multi-factorial nature the researchers have tried to determine the susceptibility of individuals to the disease through investigating the effect of each risk factor independently and to predict the future disease based on these investigations. Caries Risk Assessment (CRA) is an approach to identify high risk individuals and to implement risk factors for dental caries in 7-year-old children, and to identify high risk children. Data was collected from 218 7-year-old pupils from four schools in the city of Tehran via three methods: questionnaire, bitewing radiographs, and dental examination. We implemented the methods used by Saint Antonio Texas dental school to predict susceptibility of each individuals to dental caries through valuing risk factor of dental caries in each individual. Of the 218 pupils, 63 (28.9%) were identified as low risk, 121 (55.5%) as moderate risk, and 34 (15.6%) as high risk for development of dental caries. The frequency of dental visits was more among high risk group compared to that among low risk group (P =0.012). Association of other factors such as socio-economic status, number of children in the family, the frequency of brushing, and eating sugary snacks with the risk of dental caries remained insignificant. It can be concluded that more emphasis should be placed on oral health promotion programs, especially among pre-schoolchildren.
