Brief Summary

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

This study goals is to compare the three indices in Egyptian children aged 4 to 6 years in caries detection and time needed for the assessments which will contribute to valuable data for pediatric oral health assessments both locally and globally.

Detailed Description

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

This study will ensure that patients receive precise evaluations and guide early, appropriate preventive measures or treatments. Over time, this will contribute to reducing caries progression and related complications.

Also, Parents become more aware of their children's dental health status, emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention.Furthermore , Comparing the indices will provide insights into which tool is most efficient and reliable for detecting caries in preschool children.
