The Cariogram generates a graphical picture illustrating in an interactive way the patient's risk for developing new dental caries lesions in the future.

It is a tool that graphically demonstrates how different factors affect a patient's caries risk. It provides an overview of the risk scenario and a caries risk profile based on available information.

Unique computer software has been developed to generate the Cariogram, which can be used for caries risk assessment and patient communication as well as educational purposes. It does not replace the professional judgement of dental professionals, but it is an analytical tool that can facilitate decision-making. The Cariogram has also been scientifically evaluated, follow the link to PubMed for in-depth discussions.
