Construct and Predictive Validity of Clinical Caries Diagnostic Criteria Assessing Lesion Activity
Abstract
Even though there is no “gold standard” for determining caries lesion activity, it is nonetheless possible to evaluate the validity of such diagnostic measures. The aim of this study was to estimate the construct and predictive validity of caries lesion activity assessments by means of their ability to reflect known effects of fluoride on caries. A three-year trial of the effect of daily supervised brushing with fluoride toothpaste was carried out among 273 12-year-old children. All children were examined clinically according to diagnostic criteria for activity assessment. The relative risk (fluoride vs. control) for caries lesion transitions among diagnostic categories was calculated. Fluoride inhibited progression of caries at all stages of lesion formation while at the same time enhancing lesion regression. The effects were most pronounced for active non-cavitated lesions. It is concluded that the clinical diagnostic criteria have construct and predictive validity for the assessment of caries lesion activity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
