- Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to create an early childhood caries (ECC) risk-screening tool that fits into the primary care provider (PCP) well-child workflow. Methods: Integrated health records were employed to develop a predictive model for infants/toddlers at ECC risk; 2,009 patients with 12-, 15-, or 18-month well-child visits and at least one dental visit were used to develop a predictive tool for ECC risk at the first dental visit. Independent model validation used 880 18-to-48-month-olds at their first dental appointment after at least one well-child visit.
