High-Yield Explanation
The ICCMSTM classifies tooth surfaces radiographically as follows: (modified from Agustdottir et al ; Ekstrand et al (22]). 0 = No radiolucency. RA: Initial stages 1 = radiolucency in the outer ½ of the enamel  2 = radiolucency in the inner ½ of the enamel ± EDJ (enamel-dentin junction) (this stage is recommended for restorative care in the US, if the radiolucency touches the EDJ) 3 = radiolucency limited to the outer 1/3 of dentin (in some countries, especially the US, this stage is classified as moderate). RB: Moderate stages 4 = radiolucency reaching the middle 1/3 of dentin. RC: Extensive stages 5 = radiolucency reaching the inner 1/3 of dentin, clinically cavitated 6 = radiolucency into the pulp, clinically cavitated. ICCMSTM Caries Risk Likelihood Matrix
