Scoping Review of Dental Caries Progression Models in Children

A scoping review of 43 studies modeling dental caries progression in children and adolescents. The dataset, compiled by Xenia Teplitzky and registered with the Open Science Framework, summarizes state-transition and simulation-based modeling approaches. It was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare state-transition modeling structures based on the review of 43 included studies.
• Inform the development of new caries progression models based on summarized methodological features.
• Evaluate the scope of addressable research questions based on the described structural and methodological choices.

Strengths

• Summarizes findings from 43 distinct studies on a specific topic.
• Focuses on a defined population: children and adolescents from birth to 18 years.
• Registered with the Open Science Framework, providing a traceable methodology.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 14.4 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
