Abstract
Caries risk assessment is an integral part of comprehensive management of the disease. A software enabled approach called cariogram has been designed to assess the caries risk of an individual two decades ago by Dr.Douglas Bratthal. The model takes into consideration the multifactorial nature of the disease and acts as both a risk model and a prediction model. Caries risk profile generated by the cariogram is depicted as a pie chart with five sectors each representing a domain embracing different risk factors. This paper attempts to provide all necessary details a clinician needs to know about cariogram so as to exploit its benefits in the clinical decision making process.
Key Words: Cariogram, Dental Caries, Risk Assessment Tool.
