Assesment of Dental Caries Based on CAST, ICDAS II and Nyvad’s Criteria in Primary Molars

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

The Caries Assessment Spectrum and Treatment (CAST), International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS II), and Nyvad's criteria demonstrate measurable differences in assessing the degree and severity of dental caries in primary molars. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Key Points

To compare three caries diagnostic systems—CAST, ICDAS II, and Nyvad's criteria—for evaluating the extent and severity of dental caries in primary molars.
Conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study in 200 children aged 3 to 5 years.
Two calibrated dentists evaluated primary molars using CAST, ICDAS II, and Nyvad's criteria.
Intra-examiner and inter-examiner reliability were evaluated, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.
Intra- and inter-examiner reliability were successfully established across CAST, ICDAS II, and Nyvad diagnostic frameworks.
The scoring systems demonstrated applicable diagnostic consistency for grading primary molar decay severity in preschool children.
