INTRODUCTION: To bring forward the current understanding of the process of initiation and progression of dental caries to the fields of epidemiological and clinical research, the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) was developed. This study aimed to assess the performance of selected UPCD students by determining the inter-examiner and intra-examiner variability in diagnosing occlusal caries during the ICDAS II system. METHODS: A workshop regarding caries diagnosis was held for the participants, who examined the teeth specimen using ICDAS in two different times (Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the study). This was done to assess the inter-examiner and intra-examiner variability in diagnosing occlusal caries using the ICDAS II system. Fleiss' Kappa and Cohen's Kappa were computed, for inter-examiner variability and intra-examiner variability, respectively. RESULTS: Inter-examiner reproducibility, with Fleiss Kappa values ranging from 0.20-0.39 in Phase 1 and 0.0-0.19 in Phase 2, is not favorable. Intra-examiner reproducibility, with computed Cohen's Kappa values of five out of seven clinicians being moderate, is favorable. CONCLUSION: Intra-examiner reproducibility of clinicians demonstrated fairer reproducibility than inter-examiner. Dental caries--Diagnosis. Dental caries. Rivera, Danica Elaine C.
