CARIES MANAGEMENT WITHIN THE CARIESCARE INTERNATIONAL PROPOSAL

Comprehensive caries care has shown effectiveness in controlling caries progression and improving health outcomes by controlling caries risk, preventing initial-caries lesions progression, and patient satisfaction. Recently, the CariesCare International was developed as a health outcomes-focused patient-centered risk-based approach to caries management designed for the dental practice. Its practice-friendly consensus guide, derived from the International Caries Classification and Management System (ICCMS™), promotes best practice as informed by the best available evidence to control the caries process and maintain oral health in their patients.
