Making Cavities History: A Global Policy Consensus for Achieving a Dental Cavity-Free Future
Global consensus recommends sharing caries and cavities guidelines. Evidence shows caries is the most prevalent noncommunicable disease (NCD), necessitating policy integration for a cavity-free future and improved NCD management.
Area of Science:
- Oral health
- Public health
- Noncommunicable diseases
Background:
- Dental caries is the most prevalent noncommunicable disease (NCD) globally.
- Caries significantly impacts global health and requires widespread attention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To disseminate global consensus recommendations for managing caries and cavities.
- To advocate for policy integration to achieve a dental cavity-free future.
Main Methods:
- Global consensus building on caries and cavities.
- Evidence review highlighting caries as a leading NCD.
Main Results:
- Caries is identified as the most prevalent NCD worldwide.
- Consensus recommendations exist for addressing caries and cavities.
Conclusions:
- Sharing recommendations across diverse communities is crucial for policy adoption.
- Integrating these recommendations into global and local strategies will advance efforts to 'Make Cavities History' and improve NCD outcomes.
