Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To assess the difference in the rate of divergence of diagnosis of dental caries before and after use and training of the ICDAS.;The decrease in the rate of divergence of diagnosis of dental caries after the implementation and training of ICDAS was observed.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
It was expected that the decrease in the divergence rate of dental caries would occur in a distributed way between phases 2 and 3.;A markedly greater decrease in caries diagnosis divergence was observed in phase 2 (Implementation of ICDAS and auditor training only) compared to phase 3 (training of dental surgeons).
