Measure Description
Time Frame
Caries risk assessment using AAPD
Time Frame: baseline (single visit)

Caries risk will be categorized as Low, Moderate, or High based on the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) criteria.

  • Unit of Measure: Category (Low / Moderate / High)
baseline (single visit)

  • Low: -4 to -1
  • Moderate: 0 to +3
  • High: +4 to +13
  • Very High: +14 to +18
baseline (single visit)
