Internal pilot trial design diagram. aWhere it was not possible to conduct the first two follow-ups for the internal pilot before progression criteria review due to time constraints, pupils were asked to complete just one follow-up only to reduce burden on schools and pupils. This was completed between the time of the CBS and 12 weeks and included the question on contamination, which was required for the progression review. The exact time point for each school depended on the time available before the progression criteria review. ICDAS, International Caries Detection and Assessment System.
