Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Levels of dental fear are measured using the CFSS-DS at the first appoinment for dental examination. 2. Caries risk are measured using a questionnaire consisting several factors that could be related to the caries risk were questioned through a survey, including socioeconomical status, frequency of dental follow-up, frequency of sugary snacks intake, fluoride program, frequency of toothbrushing, medication and the persistence of parafunctional habits (bruxism, tumbsucking, pacifier sucking, nail biting etc) was replied with the parents/children by face to face interviewing at the first appoinment for dental examination 3. Plaque index values were measured using Silness Löe plaque index at the first appoinment for dental examination 4. Bleeding is measured using the modified Sulcus Bleeding index, probing pocket depth at the first appoinment for dental examination 5. Caries activity are measured using the DMF(T)/DMF(S) indexes (WHO), saliva flow rate, saliva buffering capacity, MS, LB, yeast counts) was applied at the first appoinment for dental examination 6. Caries risk profiles of all children are determined with a computer-based program, the Cariogram, at the first appoinment for dental examination	—
