The shared vision
for ICDAS is:
¤ 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.

The
following links: research, epidemiology, education and clinical practice
shows tables developed by The ICDAS committee and others interesting in
optimizing the caries detecting process. The tables are divided into 7 rows
corresponding to the 7 ICDAS detection scores. Additional detection methods
for example radiographs, FOTI and ECM are also divided into 7 stages of
severity which correspond to the ICDAS detection codes which eventually are
linked to the histological depth of the lesions. Descriptions of the
individual scoring systems are given below each table.
