Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of a group of dental practitioners from Cairo and Riyadh regarding caries risk assessment and management.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Dental caries is a preventable major public health disease affecting people of all ages and substantially impacting overall health. Caries remain the single most common chronic childhood disease. Dental caries is a dynamic and complex process. Several variables influence the occurrence of dental caries, including oral flora, saliva flow and composition, and lifestyle. Dental caries development can be primary (new carious lesion) or secondary (lesion progression or reactivated carious lesions).

There has been much progress over the past several decades in the prevention of dental caries, shifting from the management of dental caries from a "surgical approach" to a "medical prevention strategy", based on a better understanding of the caries disease process.

Caries Risk Assessment (CRA) is a significant part of successfully applying the minimum intervention dentistry philosophy in managing dental caries. As recommended by AAPD, Dental caries-risk assessment should be a routine component of new and periodic examinations by oral health and medical providers. Therefore, this study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of a group of dental practitioners from Cairo and Riyadh regarding caries risk assessment and management.
