      Cross-sectional Study.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Dental caries is the most common chronic disease of children aged 
      6-11 years. The International Caries Detection and Assessment System-Lesion 
      Activity Assessment (ICDAS-LAA) is a precise tool for the clinical assessment of 
      dental caries by visual appearance, tactile feeling, and potential for plaque 
      accumulation. Ora test is a chairside tool to estimate the ability of acid 
      produced by bacteria to cause demineralization, in a suitable environment. Aim of 
      this study is to correlate ICDAS-LAA and Ora test in assessing the caries risk of 
      a patient on the dental chair. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 60 school 
      children aged between 6 and 9 years were included in the study. Of 60 children, 
      30 (Group A) were caries free and 30 (Group B) had decayed missing extraction, 
      filled (DMF) score of 1-3. All the children were initially subjected to ICDAS-LAA 
      scoring, which was assessed by one examiner followed by chairside Ora test 
      performed by another examiner. RESULTS: Statistical analysis was done using 
      Pearson correlation test, and a negative linear relation was found between the 
      time taken for color change in Ora test and ICDAS-LAA scores. CONCLUSION: A 
      direct correlation exists between ICDAS-LAA scores and Ora test, which shows that 
      microbial activity correlates well with lesion activity.
