Cariogram is a way to illustrate interactions between caries related factors. It demonstrates the caries risk graphically and shows the risk for developing new caries in the future and also chances to avoid new caries in the near future. It helps to understand the multifactorial aspects of dental caries. It can be used as a guide in attempts to estimate caries risk. ==History== Caries Risk Assessment — A Swedish Model: Over the past few decades, Swedish researchers have been developing and applying new concepts for caries risk assessment. The pioneering work of Bo Krasse and his team at the ''Dental School in Göteborg'' laid the foundation for the development of a comprehensive model of the caries risk profile. Building on this work, Douglas Bratthall and coworkers at the ''Dental School in Malmö'' have attempted to make the practical application of risk assessment more accessible by developing a computer-based caries risk assessment model. According to Douglas Bratthall and coworkers 1997: Relevant information regarding the patient is collected, scored according to a standardized protocol and then entered into a computerized program called Cariogram. He described Cariogram in his CARIOGRAM MANUAL published in 1997 by Förlagshuset Gothia, Stockholm. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cariogram」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
