The CAMBRA methodology, which stands for Caries Management by Risk Assessment, places focus on the whole disease process in dentistry. This means that it takes into account all aspects of the disease, including risk factors, prevention, early detection, and management. It emphasizes the importance of identifying and addressing the underlying causes of dental caries, rather than just treating the symptoms or consequences of the disease. By considering the entire disease process, CAMBRA aims to provide a comprehensive and proactive approach to dental care.
