    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Radiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Dental caries remains a significant public health concern.
    • Current guidelines for dental radiography timing may not be optimally personalized.
    • Early detection of caries is crucial for effective intervention and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a predictive model for determining optimal bitewing radiograph intervals.
    • To personalize radiographic recall based on individual caries risk.
    • To ensure timely detection of carious lesions before significant progression.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of serial bitewing radiographs to estimate caries incidence and progression rates.
    • Development of a mathematical model incorporating fluoride exposure and lesion status.
    • Determination of radiographic schedules based on predicted lesion advancement.

    Main Results:

    • A model was created to analyze the impact of caries incidence and progression on radiograph timing.
    • Individualized schedules range from 6 months to 3 years.
    • Low-risk individuals (high fluoride, no lesions) can have intervals of 2.5-3 years.
    • High-risk individuals (low fluoride, existing lesions) require intervals of 6-12 months.

    Conclusions:

    • Personalized bitewing radiograph scheduling based on caries risk is feasible and recommended.
    • This approach optimizes early detection of dental caries.
    • Tailored recall intervals can improve resource allocation and patient care in dental settings.
