Abstract
Caries is a serious public health problem and its control should be a priority. Proper caries
management is urgently needed to handle caries based on specific individual conditions in
Indonesia. CAMBRA methodology helps dentists identify the causes of caries by examining risk
factors in each patient.
The aim of this study is to assess the validity of the CAMBRA Indonesia version that was
developed according to guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation.
This was a validity and reliability test designated with Cohen’s Kappa. This study was carried out
by two groups of operators who performed an assessment using the CAMBRA Indonesia version
and the original CAMBRA. Both groups examined 36 pairs of mothers and children aged 0–5 years.
The mothers had a minimum education of a bachelor’s degree. The outcomes of caries risk
from each group was tested using Cohen’s Kappa.
The results of intra- and inter-examiner agreement was almost perfect with a k-value = 0.828
(range 0.81–1.00), with inter-examiner agreement at 94.4%. The Indonesian version of CAMBRA
was developed successfully to be used as an instrument assessing caries risk in children 0–5 years
old.
The inter- and intra-examiner agreement between the CAMBRA Indonesia version and the
original CAMBRA were confirmed.
