| Sumario: | Objective. To determine risk level for caries development using the Cariogram suggested by Bratthall et al. (1997). Methods. One hundred and fifty urban schoolchildren were selected randomly. All of them were studied in order to determine S. mu- tans and Lactobacillus ufc, the saliva flow rate and its buffer capacity, and a clinical evaluation for dental health (DMFT and SIP) was performed according with WHO parameters in order to evaluate caries risk using the Cariogram. Results. The average of the DMFT was 1.55 ± 1.8. The 45% of population evaluated was caries free. According with the cariogram, the caries risk groups: high and moderate, was higher in males. For the whole sample, 50% were in low risk for caries development and 8.7% had been in a high risk, according with the cariogram. Conclusion. The cariogram is a useful tool to allow evaluate some factors associated to the development of caries. It could be used for prevention in healthy persons and for monitoring patient with caries or with predisposition for this disease. |
