ICDAS shared vision

  • ICDAS is a clinical scoring system for use in dental education, clinical practice, research, and epidemiology.
  • ICDAS is designed to: lead to better quality information to inform decisions about appropriate diagnosis, prognosis, and clinical management at both the indivdual and public health levels.
  • and ICDAS provides a framework to support and enable personalised total caries management for improved long term health outcomes.
