A system for recording occlusal caries in the albino rat has been described. The method provides for a high degree of duplicability and sensitivity.

The maxillary molars of one quadrant are divided into 15 cuspal areas and 6 sulci, and the mandibular molars of one quadrant into 17 cuspal areas and 8 sulci. Sulcal caries are scored as 1, 2, or 3, and values of 1-4 are assigned to the cusps. A total severity score is available for each tooth, each quadrant, and each arch.
