Abstract
This paper reviews the predictors used to identify children and adolescents at high risk of developing dental caries. They are presented with their degree of association with caries, their validity as screening tests and their methods of determination. The most promising predictors are identified and caries prediction models are also briefly reviewed. The article concludes with some comments about weaknesses encountered in the conduct of screening studies and makes some suggestions for improving the validity of the prediction models.Entities:
