ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to compare two different methods for assessing the risk of dental cavities, also known as caries. The researchers want to see if the ICCMs Caries risk and likelihood matrix is more accurate than the simplified Cariogram in predicting how likely someone is to develop cavities. Understanding which method is more effective can help dentists provide better care and advice to their patients.

To participate in this study, you need to be between the ages of 18 and 29 and currently have dental caries or have had dental restorations, like fillings. Unfortunately, if you don’t have any cavities or have a psychiatric condition, you won’t be eligible. If you join the trial, you’ll be asked to undergo some assessments related to your dental health. The study is not yet actively recruiting participants, but it aims to gather valuable information that could improve how we assess cavity risk in the future.
