ICADAPLUS is a user-friendly software for dental epidemiological surveys. It simplifies data management, DMF rate calculation, and statistical analysis for tooth decay, requiring only basic computer skills.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Dental public health initiatives require efficient data collection and analysis for epidemiological surveys.
  • Existing methods for dental caries assessment can be complex and require specialized expertise.
  • There is a need for accessible tools to support health services in conducting dental surveys.

Purpose:

  • To introduce ICADAPLUS, a novel computer software system designed for dental epidemiological surveys.
  • To provide a simplified and error-free method for creating databases, calculating DMF rates, and performing statistical comparisons.
  • To enable health services to conduct epidemiological surveys of tooth decay using dental records without requiring specialized computing or dental knowledge.

Summary:
