The Cariogram indicates a rather Low risk for caries. Some actions could
further lower the risk.
If there is an interest to further minimize the risk, consider all parameters 747x239h
where scores higher than 0 or 1 have been added in the boxes - can any of
them be changed to the better?
* The Diet with respect to its content of fermentable carbohydrates
is a contributing risk factor - a reduced intake of such products
would be an advantage.
The factors contributing to the positive situation should be explained to the
patient. It should be observed that the risk profile for a specific surface may
be different from the over-all picture revealed by the Cariogram. Preventive
actions for any surface showing progressing caries is encouraged.
The Cariogram expresses the over-all caries risk only. It does not take
into account problems such as fractures of teeth or fillings, discolorations
etc which may make new fillings necessary.
