ICDAS

ICDAS (International Caries Detection and Assessment System) is a standardized system used by dental professionals to identify and classify the severity of tooth decay, or cavities. It involves examining the teeth visually and grading any signs of early decay, such as white spots or slight surface changes, before they become large cavities. This system helps dentists detect problems early, allowing for less invasive treatments and better prevention strategies. Essentially, ICDAS provides a uniform way to assess tooth health, ensuring consistent and accurate diagnosis across different practitioners and clinics.
