ICDAS code | Criteria for visual lesion detection | Degree of severity of lesion |
---|
0 | Sound surface | | 1 | Earliest optical change,visible on drying enamel | Demineralisation in outer third of enamel | 2 | Clear enamel change;while or brown blemishes,visible without drying | Demineralisation reaching the inner third of enamel,possibly the ADJ | 3 | Localised break in enamel | Demineralisation of outer third of dentine | 4 | Dentine not visible | Demineralisation of middle third of dentine,no weakening of dental crown structure | 5 | Enamel opaque or grayish,suggestive of and underlying dentine lesion,with or without enamel cavitations | Demineralisation of middle third of dentine,weakening of dental crown structure | 6 | Dentine cavity | Demineralisation of inner third of dentine,undermining of casp structure and support |
