Caries risk assessment using different Cariogram models. A comparative study about concordance in different populations-Adults and children.

ABSTRACT: This methodological survey aimed to verify whether there is concordance among several Cariogram different risk models at different thresholds, comparing both children and adult populations and how each risk/protective factor weight on the overall caries risk profile. Three groups' data (two in children and one in adults) were obtained from previous studies, while a fourth, in young adults, was ad hoc enrolled. Different caries risk levels were assessed: a) three risk categories with two different thresholds as: "low risk"  =  61-100% or 81-100% chance to avoid caries, "moderate risk"  =  41-60% or 21-80% and "high risk"  =  0-40% or 0-20%, named model 1 and 2; b) four risk categories with two different thresholds as: "low risk"  =  61-100% or 76-100%, "moderate/low risk" = 41-60% or 51-75%
