ABSTRACT

Background: Tooth decay is one of the most common diseases in humans. Knowing the factors involved in the development of dental caries in any given population represents an area of opportunity to establish treatment regimens to modify the variables that influence the overall oral health status of that population. For this reason, various programs have been designed to determine the risk of an individual developing caries. The cariogram is one of the most useful and comprehensive tools for preventing caries. Objective: To observe the functioning of a reduced cariogram model in a fluoridated area, one that can offer us the same predictive power as the full model but with the advantage of being more flexible and economical. Material and methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 30 randomly selected college students aged between 18 and 21 years. Salivary tests were performed, the DMFT Index and PI calculated, and a questionnaire on eating habits was applied to structure the variables that make up the cariogram and so enable us to predict the risk that each individual has of developing caries in the future. We then compared the results against a reduced model and assessed its predictive potential. Results: We found that 66% of the students had a low to very low risk of developing caries in the next 12 months. 34% of them had a moderate to high risk. A comparison of the results of both cariogram models showed a significance of greater than 0.05 in each. Conclusions: The predictive potential of the cariogram is the same in both models when applied in a fluoridated area.
