What is ICCMS

A

International Caries Classification and Management System
A set of clinical protocols that address all diagnostic, preventative and restorative decisions necessary to preserve tooth structure and restore only when indicated

Q

What are the disadvantages of taking radiographs

A

Uses ionising radiation
Difficult to standardise angle
If taken from a different angle you may not be able to track the progression of a lesion accurately over time
