What this trial studies

This observational study assesses the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding Caries Risk Assessment (CRA) among dental residents at the Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University. It aims to understand how well these residents are equipped to identify and manage the risk of dental caries in both children and adults. The study highlights the importance of CRA in implementing a minimum intervention dentistry approach, which focuses on preventing the progression of dental caries through tailored patient management. By evaluating the current practices, the study seeks to identify gaps in knowledge and areas for improvement in dental education.
