Table 5 Analytical Models of Caries Increment
Model | Description |
|---|---|
Crude increment | One event (change) per tooth surface is counted; no reversals are counted |
Cumulative crude increment | Multiple events are possible on a tooth surface; no reversals are counted |
Net increment | One event per tooth surface is counted; reversals are included |
Cumulative net increment | Multiple events per tooth surface are possible; reversals are included |
