<strong>Training</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Standardized</strong> <strong>Oral</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Screening<br />
SCREENERS<br />
The following are not considered decay. Mark No if:<br />
no teeth fit the definition of decay;<br />
cavitation is less than 0.5 millimeter in diameter;<br />
decalcification exists without cavitation (see photo #5);<br />
there are stained grooves without cavitation (see photo #6);<br />
fractured teeth are free of decay or have decay not fitting the definition (see photo #7); or<br />
missing fillings have no decay fitting the definition (then mark Filled teeth category only; see section<br />
on Filled Teeth).<br />
If no cavitation exists or you are not sure, consider the tooth sound.<br />
TIP: Do not automatically mark fractured teeth and/or lost or partially lost restorations as decay; mark decay<br />
only if cavitation fitting the definition is present alone or with other conditions.<br />
