Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of a group of dental practitioners from Cairo and Riyadh regarding caries risk assessment and management.

Clinical Trial Description

Dental caries is a preventable major public health disease affecting people of all ages and substantially impacting overall health. Caries remain the single most common chronic childhood disease. Dental caries is a dynamic and complex process. Several variables influence the occurrence of dental caries, including oral flora, saliva flow and composition, and lifestyle. Dental caries development can be primary (new carious lesion) or secondary (lesion progression or reactivated carious lesions). There has been much progress over the past several decades in the prevention of dental caries, shifting from the management of dental caries from a "surgical approach" to a "medical prevention strategy", based on a better understanding of the caries disease process. Caries Risk Assessment (CRA) is a significant part of successfully applying the minimum intervention dentistry philosophy in managing dental caries. As recommended by AAPD, Dental caries-risk assessment should be a routine component of new and periodic examinations by oral health and medical providers. Therefore, this study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of a group of dental practitioners from Cairo and Riyadh regarding caries risk assessment and management. Benefits to Practitioner: - Increasing awareness of the importance of CRA practices. - Implementing a positive attitude regarding CRA and management. - Improve practices toward CRA Benefits to Patient: - Increasing the awareness and knowledge of early caries prevention by dentists. - Increasing awareness about Caries Risk Assessment and management. Benefits to Community: • Increasing the knowledge and awareness of the community regarding preventive dentistry and the importance of primary prevention ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
