CAMBRA (Caries Management By Risk Assessment)

CAMBRA (Caries Management By Risk Assessment) is a professional approach used by dentists to evaluate an individual's risk of developing cavities. It involves assessing factors like oral hygiene habits, diet, saliva flow, and presence of bacteria that cause decay. Based on this assessment, personalized prevention strategies are designed—such as special fluoride treatments, dietary advice, or antimicrobial agents—to reduce cavity risk. CAMBRA aims to provide targeted, effective care that maintains oral health and prevents future decay by addressing each person's unique risk factors.
