Using CAMBRA, a patient who returns after 2 years requesting 'just a cleaning' is found on a bitewing to have a new CAVITATED lesion. His caries-risk category is:

  1. Low risk
  2. Moderate risk
  3. High risk
  4. No risk
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. High risk

  • A. A cavitated lesion rules out low risk.
  • B. A frank cavitation exceeds moderate risk.
  • C. Correct. Any cavitated lesion automatically classifies the patient as high caries risk in CAMBRA.
  • D. Active disease is present, so 'no risk' is impossible.
