Abstract
The objective of this clinical case study is to illustrate the caries management four-step structured process, leading to
personalised interventions specifc for each individual patient’s risks and needs, according to CariesCare International, derived
from the International Caries Classifcation and Management System (ICCMS) for clinical practice. An 18-year-old female was
diagnosed with higher caries risk at the individual level, and with several caries lesions at different severity stages, some likely
active and others likely inactive. A care plan was co-created with the patient and delivered to obtain optimal health outcomes.
Several issues pertinent to patient-centred care are discussed, including caries management at the individual and the tooth
surface level, the preservation of tooth structure, patient’s caries risk management, and prevention and control of caries
lesions. The patient’s perspective is taken into account and the health outcome focus of the system is highlighted.
