Brief summary

This study goal is to compare two indices in Egyptian children aged 3-6 years in caries detection and time needed for assessment which will contribute to variable data for pediatric oral health assessment locally and globally.

Detailed description

This study will ensure that patients receive precise evaluations and guide early, appropriate preventive measures or treatments. Over time, this will contribute to reducing caries progression and related complications. Also, Parents become more aware of their children's dental health status, emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention. Furthermore, Comparing the indices will provide insights into which tool is most efficient and reliable for detecting caries in children 3-6 years old.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Caries risk assessment using AAPD	baseline (single visit)	Caries risk will be categorized as Low, Moderate, or High based on the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) criteria. * Unit of Measure: Category (Low / Moderate / High)
Caries risk assessment using CAMBRA123	baseline (single visit)	Caries risk will be evaluated using the CAMBRA 123 scoring system, which assigns scores from -4 to +18, categorized as: * Low: -4 to -1 * Moderate: 0 to +3 * High: +4 to +13 * Very High: +14 to +18

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Time For index Application	baseline (single visit)	The time required to apply each caries assessment index (CAMBRA123 and AAPD) will be measured in seconds for each child during the clinical examination
