International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) and its International Caries Classification and Management System (ICCMS) – methods for staging of the caries process and enabling dentists to manage caries

Abstract

ICDAS provides flexible and increasingly internationally adopted methods for classifying stages of the caries process and the activity status of lesions which can be incorporated into the ICCMS(™) . The ICCMS(™) provides options to enable dentists to integrate and synthesize tooth and patient information, including caries risk status, in order to plan, manage and review caries in clinical and public health practice.

'MI'opia or 20/20 vision?

“…An example of such an endeavour is the development of the European core curriculum in cariology, from consensus discussions originating within the European Organisation for Caries Research (ORCA) and the Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE), also including contributions from North and South America. 10,11 The relevant stakeholders (the dental profession -service providers/educators/ researchers, the government healthcare regulators, the public and the dental industry) must work in close partnership to move MI care forwards as the desirable goal for dentistry now and in the future. Its careful implementation into the mainstream will bring long lasting rewards for both patients and all dental care professionals and will lay down a secure foundation for optimising the dental health of future generations.…”

Correlation Of Clinical And Radiographic Diagnosis Of Carious Lesions In Posterior Teeth

“…[15][16][17][18] El objetivo de este estudio consistió en establecer la correlación entre el diagnóstico clínico y radiográfico de caries dental según la propuesta del ICCMS TM , en molares temporales y permanentes de una población escolar.…”

Microscópio operatório no diagnóstico de cárie dentária em crianças com fissura labiopalatina

“…O sistema ICDAS-II foi escolhido por apresentar uma validação histológica entre as lesões de cárie e seus respectivos escores (ISMAIL et al, 2007;ISMAIL, 2011;PITTS;EKSTRAND, 2013). A aplicação do sistema ICDAS-II permitiu a comparação da prevalência de lesões de cárie e eficácia dos três métodos usados neste presente estudo.…”

“…Considerando-se estes dados, diversos índices têm sido desenvolvidos para o registro da detecção das lesões de cárie sendo testados com o objetivo de auxiliar o correto diagnóstico das lesões, dentre estes destaca-se o International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II) (BRAGA et al, 2009;TOPPING;PITTS, 2009;EKSTRAND, 2010;ISMAIL, 2011;NELSON et al, 2011;AMORIM et al, 2012;MANTON, 2013;PITTS;EKSTRAND, 2013 …”
