Table 2 Mean caries increments (Δ) over 3 years expressed as mean DFT and DFS in the various Cariogram risk categories
From: Caries risk assessment in young adults: a 3 year validation of the Cariogram model

61–80 | 335 | 0.53 (1.07) | 0.85 (1.91) | 71.3 |
41–60 | 248 | 0.82 (1.18) | 1.59 (2.55) | 50.4 |
21–40 | 74 | 0.84 (0.95) | 1.70 (1.76) | 36.5 |
0–20 (very high risk) | 74 | 1.00 (1.40) | 1.99 (3.00) | 44.6 |
