Abstract:
Occlusal caries now accounts for most of the lesions in children aged 8-15 years. This paper presents a ranked visual scoring system for occlusal caries diagnosis. It relates the clinical appearance of the lesion to its activity, the level of infection of the dentine and the histopathology. The appropriate management for each score is suggested.
