8m 51s
A research paper explores the development of a nomogram to predict root caries risk in elderly Chinese individuals. The study identifies key risk factors like age, coronal caries history, denture use, and root exposure through questionnaires and oral examinations. The nomogram demonstrates good predictive accuracy, potentially enabling personalized preventive care and improved oral health management. Statistical analyses, including logistic regression and ROC curves, validated the model's effectiveness. The tool aims to assist clinicians in identifying high-risk patients and implementing early interventions, ultimately enhancing oral health outcomes for the elderly. Larger, multi-center studies are recommended for further validation and application in diverse clinical settings.
