VALORACIÓN INDIVIDUAL DE RIESGO DE CARIES CON EL RIESGOGRAMA

Objective: To establish caries risk through "RIESGOGRAMA" among Colombians and evaluate existing differences between states.Methods: A local adaptation of the CARIOGRAM® software was developed considering caries morbidity in Colombia. Using Riesgograma, multiple risk factors were evaluated in 7 states in the country (caries experience, dental plague, local systemic factors for plague retention, flúoride access, daily frequency of intake and timing and reason for last dental visit). Frequency distributions and means were generated using SAS 9.1. Sensitivity and specificity were measured using as comparison CRT Buffer and CRT Bacteria Vivadent®.Results: A total of 4,942 forms were collected in 7 states of the country. Regarding dental caries, around 62% of the sample had a DMF-T >1, and the largest states had the lowest proportion of population with a DMT-T = 0. Almost 82% reported using toothpaste with fluoride, while 61% reported having no access to dental services non-emergency related. When caries risk was assessed 11% of the population was classified as high risk, and 25% fell into the medium risk group. Sensitivity of Riesgograma was 75%.Conclusion: Caries individual risk assessment is an important health indicator and it must be evaluated in a comprehensive way to asses the risk that each person has to develop new caries lesions.
