ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to emphasize the importance of identifying individual risk factors in the occurrence of dental caries as early as possible, thus following the development of a personalized prevention plan.

The study was conducted on a group of 30 people aged between 12-20 years.
Each patient was informed about the procedures and the caregivers signed informed consent and approved the processing of personal data and the use of their data for the study.

A multiple regression analysis was performed using the values of the CAO-D and CAO-S indices as dependent variables, and the values of the DI, CI, OHI, diet score indices as independent variables.

In the multiple regression analysis for the comparative analysis of the value of the dependent variable of the CAO-D index and the frequency of daily sweets consumption, we obtained an ascending linear direction of the association of the two variables. This signifies a positive association of the dependent variable and the independent variable.
