This article describes the usefulness of Cariogram software in three orthodontic patients with high-, medium-, and low-risk caries profiles. Caries-related indicators and information needed for the Cariogram model were registered. The prebonding decayed and filled surfaces (DFS) indices for patient 1 (15-year-old girl) and patient 2 (18-year-old woman) were >5, while in patient 3 (15-year-old boy), the DFS index was <2. The data were entered into the interactive Cariogram software, which shows the various caries-related indicators. Patients 1, 2, and 3 had 6%, 58%, and 87%, respectively, actual chance of avoiding new caries. Patient 1 had high lactobacilli and medium mutans streptococci scores and a high caries risk. Patient 2 had a high DFS index and low buffer capacity, resulting in a medium caries risk. Patient 3 had low mutans streptococci and high lactobacilli scores and a low DFS index, resulting in a low caries risk. The Cariogram is available free online and is a useful educational model to illustrate a patient's caries risk.
本文描述了Cariogram软件在三名患龋风险分别为高、中、低的正畸患者中的应用情况。记录了Cariogram模型所需的与龋齿相关的指标和信息。患者1（15岁女孩）和患者2（18岁女性）的粘结前龋坏和充填面（DFS）指数>5，而患者3（15岁男孩）的DFS指数<2。将数据输入交互式Cariogram软件，该软件会显示各种与龋齿相关的指标。患者1、2和3避免新发龋齿的实际几率分别为6%、58%和87%。患者1的乳酸杆菌得分高，变形链球菌得分中等，患龋风险高。患者2的DFS指数高，缓冲能力低，导致患龋风险中等。患者3的变形链球菌得分低，乳酸杆菌得分高，DFS指数低，导致患龋风险低。Cariogram可在网上免费获取，是一种用于说明患者患龋风险的有用的教育模型。
