CAMBRA Principles
Caries management by risk assessment (CAMBRA) is an
evidence-based approach to preventing or treating the cause
of dental caries at the earliest stages rather than waiting for
irreversible damage to the teeth. This philosophy requires
an understanding that dental caries is an infectious bacterial
biofilm disease that is expressed in a predominantly
pathologic oral environment.8 Science suggests this disease is
the consequence of a shift in the homeostatic balance of the
resident microflora due to a change in local environmental
conditions (such as pH) that favor the growth of cariogenic
pathogens.9-10 Although acid-generating bacteria present
in plaque biofilm are often considered the etiologic agents,
dental caries is multifactorial since it is also influenced by
lifestyle and host factors.6 In the simplest of descriptions,
dental caries disease is a result of these acid-producing
