The International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) offers clinical criteria
and codes, together with a framework to support and enable personalized comprehensive
caries management for improved long-term health outcome. Based on
the ICDAS, this publication provides an up-to-date synthesis of the fields of detection,
assessment, diagnosis and monitoring of caries. The available evidence is reviewed,
and a summary is given of the current international views on best practice of how the
information collected can be collated and synthesized to inform the planning, delivery
and clinical evaluation of patient-centred, comprehensive caries management.
The book includes a unique glossary of key terms developed with a number of international
groups and establishes new links between cariology in clinical practice, caries
research, dental education and epidemiology, and dental public health.
The book presents valuable information for practitioners and other dental health professionals
with an interest in dental caries and its modern, evidence-based, clinical
management as well as for all involved in the domains of dental public health, caries
research or education.
