Objective: To assess the dental caries prevalence with ICDAS II in the mixed dentition, 40 children aged 7 to 11 years old, participating in a social program, whose parents and/or guardians signed a informed consent form. Material and Methods: Clinical examination was carried out after brushing. A single researcher performed the examination and the diagnosis consistency was obtained by Kappa coefficient in 12% of the sample. All dental surfaces were examined receiving a two-digit code. The first one refers to the presence of restoration/sealant and the second, the severity of carious lesions. The data was processed at SPSS software version 10.0 and analyzed using descriptive statistics (absolute distribution, percentage, mean and standard deviation). Results: The coefficient intra-examiner agreement was 0,83. Caries prevalence was considered high because 100% of the children had some surface with non-cavitated caries lesion. ICDAS II can be easily transformed to dmf-s or DMF-S without compromising its integrity. For dmf-s/DMF-S decayed surfaces were considered ICDAS codes 3 to 6, resulting in a dmf-s = 6,57 where 11 children (27,5%) presented no decayed deciduous teeth surface. DMF-S = 2,0 showed that 15 children (37,5%) had none decayed permanent surface, determining a underestimation of the caries disease when using dmf-d/dmf-s and DMF-S indexes. Conclusion: A careful viewing of initial caries lesions makes ICDAS II usefull in evaluating the health promotion actions impact, supporting the planning process, implementation and evaluation of program activities.

“…[3][4][5][6][7] The subjects were examined on the same day, first by clinical and radiographic examination by one examiner, using an 8-inch round cone that was placed in contact with the ring of the film-holding system (RINN XCP; Dentsply, York, UK) placed in contact with the patient cheek during exposure. Then, the second examiner (blinded from the previous) performed the transillumination assessment placing the mouthpiece over the occlusal surfaces.…”

“…Clinically, the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) is a visual scoring system to assess caries lesions at both initial and manifest thresholds. [3][4][5][6][7] Radiographic examination is highly sensitive for detecting caries on surfaces that cannot be inspected visually, such as approximal surfaces. However, limitations in revealing the early stages of the disease have been reported, 8 and the risk associated with radiographic exposure needs to be taken into consideration.…”

Objectives: This article aimed to evaluate: (a) the agreement between a near-infrared light transillumination device and clinical and radiographic examinations in caries lesion detection and (b) the reliability of images captured by the transillumination device. Methods: Two calibrated examiners evaluated the caries status in premolars and molars on 52 randomly selected subjects by comparing the transillumination device with a clinical examination for the occlusal surfaces and by comparing the transillumination device with a radiographic examination (bitewing radiographs) for the approximal surfaces. Forty-eight trained dental hygienists evaluated and reevaluated 30 randomly selected images 1-month later. Results: A high concordance between transillumination method and clinical examination (kappa 5 0.99) was detected for occlusal caries lesions, while for approximal surfaces, the transillumination device identified a higher number of lesions with respect to bitewing (kappa 5 0.91). At the dentinal level, the two methods identified the same number of caries lesions (kappa 5 1), whereas more approximal lesions were recorded using the transillumination device in the enamel (kappa 5 0.24). The intraexaminer reliability was substantial/almost perfect in 59.4% of the participants. Conclusions: The transillumination method showed a high concordance compared with traditional methods (clinical examination and bitewing radiographs). Caries detection reliability using the transillumination device images showed a high intraexaminer agreement. Transillumination showed to be a reliable method and as effective as traditional methods in caries detection.
