Phase 1 (Baseline): During 4 months, the number of dental caries diagnostic divergences between 41 dentists and 3 auditors of the Dental Care System was recorded, without the use of the ICDAS protocol

Exclusion criteria: Dentists/auditors who were invited but who did not agree to participate in the study; dentists who did not perform caries treatments after receiving the training; dentists who participated in the training but did not reach an acceptable level of concordance regarding ICDAS (weighted Kappa Index equal to or greater than 0.75).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 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
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 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). | — |
