An appropriate diet analysis forms the basis for precise dietary advice. Analysis of diet for its cariogenicity is a complex process. Performing a meaningful diet analysis is a challenge in routine clinical practice. Currently, very few tools are available for clinicians to assess children\u2019s diet relating to caries risk. The current scientific paper presents a novel index that assesses the cariogenicity and healthfulness of a child\u2019s diet objectively and guides the professional to achieve pragmatic diet modification in the prevention of dental caries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Multi-disciplinary teams with a sample study population were involved in the initial structuring of Diet\u2019s Cariogenicity and Healthfulness Index. To obtain cut-off values for cariogenicity of diet, a study was carried out with a sample of 774 children correlating diet diary with caries status. For statistics, the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve closest to the ideal of 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity was applied.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ROC curve of 22.5 were plotted for diet scores for its cariogenicity.
