The PreViser RiskCalculator™ measures several types of conditions for which a Patient might be at risk.

On Treatment Option Plans, the results of Risk Assessments are expressed in numeric terms, defined below. On Patient Reports, some explanatory text accompanies each numeric score; this text is also included here below in italics.

These scores also appear on the Patient Details page in abbreviated form for any Risk Assessments in that Patient's history.

A Perio Risk Assessment produces two separate scores; a Caries, Root, and Fracture Risk Assessment produces three separate scores.; and an Oral Cancer Risk Assessment produces one score. The Legend for these scores (explained below) is as follows:

Perio Score Legend:
PR: Perio Risk
D: Disease State

Caries Score Legend:
CR: Caries Risk
FR: Fracture Risk
RR: Root Surface Risk

Oral Cancer Score Legend:
OCR: Oral Cancer Risk

Risk in general:

Risk is expressed as the chance that the adverse effects will occur. Probability is, of course, not an absolute certainty. This means that a person at low risk might experience the same effects as a person at high risk, although this occurrence is rare. Similarly, there is no guarantee that a patient at high risk will definitely experience severe disease.

Specific information about each type of score, the conditions measured, and the accompanying text on reports is detailed on the Risk Scores page in the Appendix. We encourage you to view that page so you understand the content of the reports, how to interpret the scores, the relationship between the numeric scores and traditional terminology, and how to communicate the risk scores to others.
