CARIES RESEARCH DIGEST
This new ORCA initiative is designed to bring cutting-edge caries research closer to the global oral-health community.
Through short expert videos and concise summaries, this section highlights key findings from recent studies, discusses their clinical relevance, and helps translate research evidence into meaningful insights for daily practice, education, and future investigations.
The Digest was created to support clinicians, researchers, educators, and students by synthesizing complex information and fostering critical thinking around caries diagnosis, management, and prevention.
We are proud to launch this section with contributions from leading researchers in cariology and look forward to expanding it with diverse voices, topics, and perspectives from across the ORCA community.
Stay curious. Stay evidence-driven.
