DPBRN Longitudinal Study of Questionable Occlusal Caries Lesions
- Conditions
- Dental Caries
- Registration Number
- NCT01309971
- Lead Sponsor
- Dental Practice-Based Research Network
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study will allow us to observe and follow the subjects' treatment from DPBRN Prevalence of Questionable Occlusal Caries Lesions Study over a 24 month period.
- Detailed Description
There have been very few studies regarding questionable lesions, virtually no clinical evaluations of the progression of questionable lesions over time, and no studies depicting the prevalence of these lesions. Since carious lesions have the ability to arrest and possibly reverse, determining how often these lesions are being seen in practice and learning more about their characteristics and patient risk assessment are important steps in order to manage these lesions without unnecessary surgical intervention.
