Exploring the behavioural determinants of compliance in resilient high-caries-risk patients who improved caries severity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The caries severity in childhood may predict caries conditions in the future and even in adulthood in caries risk models. Nevertheless, the rate of recurrent caries after treatment of severe early childhood caries is high and correlated with behavioural factors, rather than clinical indicators. Compliance with the caries control programme has been demonstrated to prevent root caries development in head and neck cancer patients, suggesting that compliance with treatment protocols is a more important key to bringing about successful outcomes than treatment protocols themselves. However, only few studies defined the triggers of compliance in patients with long-term successful treatment outcomes, especially in children. Furthermore, driven forces of compliant behaviours from
