- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method umber of surfaces per individual requiring operative or non-operative treatment measured at the same time twice: in period 1 of examination and in a one week in period 2 of examination
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <br> Diagnostic outcomes:<br> 1. Nyvad D and ICDAS II D components reflecting activity of the lesions (active non-cavitated lesions, active cavitated lesions, inactive non-cavitated lesions, inactive cavitated lesions).<br> 2. Nyvad D and ICDAS II D (decay) components reflecting activity and depth of the lesions<br> 3. Caries experience of carious lesions (mean DMFS) generated from the Nyvad and the ICDAS II systems<br>
