Prevention and Management of Dental Caries in Children

The second edition of the SDCEP Prevention and Management of Dental Caries in Children guidance was published in 2018. In line with SDCEP’s standard five year guidance review period a scheduled review of the guidance topic is ongoing to inform the need for, and extent of, any updating required.

The review has included surveys of end-users and former Guidance Development Group members to identify any new clinical developments or evidence that might impact on the guidance recommendations or advice. This is being supplemented by a review of relevant existing guidelines for updates and a search for new guidelines and relevant systematic reviews. A surveillance report will summarise the findings of the review and propose options for taking forward the updating of the guidance.
