Summary
This study tests whether a digital questionnaire can accurately assess a person's risk of developing cavities, compared to the standard clinical method (CAMBRA). About 384 Egyptian adults aged 18 to 65 will fill out the questionnaire and receive a clinical exam. The goal is to see if the digital tool can reliably classify risk levels, potentially making cavity prevention easier and more widespread.
