Comparing two tooth decay risk checklists for young children
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two simple checklists (CAMBRA123 and AAPD CAT) that dentists use to figure out a child's risk of getting cavities. Your child's risk level is determined by looking at their teeth and asking a few questions, which can help guide prevention and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 3 and 6 years old.
- Your child can be a boy or a girl.
- Your child must not have any medical condition that affects their teeth or mouth.
- Your child should be able to cooperate during a dental check-up.
- Your child must not have a cognitive impairment that would make it hard to understand the study.

This study compares three different methods for measuring tooth decay (cavities) in young children to see which works best. Your child will have their teeth checked in a simple, painless exam to help improve dental care for kids.
This study aims to build a tool that predicts which children aged 3 to 6 are at high risk for severe tooth decay (cavities). By identifying risk factors early, doctors hope to prevent serious dental problems and improve children's oral health.
This study compares two different methods of estimating how likely a child is to get tooth decay. If you visit the children’s dental clinic, the researchers will use these methods to help identify risk and plan prevention.
This study compares using a powered (electric) toothbrush versus a manual toothbrush in children aged 8 to 12 to see which is better at reducing the risk of cavities. Your child must already have some signs of tooth decay or a history of cavities in the past few years.
This study collects children’s dental records to learn about oral health in children who are considered at risk. Your participation could help researchers understand what dental problems happen more often and why.
This study tests a new questionnaire to see how well it can predict your risk of cavities. You will answer questions about your teeth and habits, and your answers will be compared with a dentist's exam.
