This thesis examined factors associated with the accuracy of caries risk assessment by South Australian Dental Service (SADS) staff for children enrolled in the school dental service. Understanding those factors can help to address variation in accuracy of assessment and ultimately caries risk among children. The aims of this thesis were to examine the relationship between clinician's assessment of caries risk at a baseline examination and subsequent caries development and to explore the association between accuracy in caries risk assessment and clinician- and patient-related factors. This study consisted of four sub-studies which addressed a set of specific objectives. Two data sources were used in the analysis. The first dataset was obtained from the South Australian component of the Child Dental Health Survey, an ongoing national surveillance survey of the oral health status of Australian children attending school dental services in all states and territories. Data on caries experience were extracted from electronic examination records collected during the period 2002-2005. These data included caries experience (decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces) of the deciduous (dmfs) and permanent dentition (DMFS). The level of risk status assigned by clinicians at the baseline examination as well as socio-demographic factors of those children, were obtained. This first dataset was used for sub-study no. 1 and sub-study no. 2. Sub-study no. 3 and sub-study no. 4 used additional information from the second dataset, which contained responses to a self-completed clinician questionnaire. This questionnaire collected data on clinicians' personal characteristics, routine caries risk assessment practices and their perception of factors that were important in caries risk assessment and their confidence in their routine clinical activities.
