Aim:This study was conducted to evaluate the reproducibility of CAMBRA and Cariogram as caries risk assessment among patientwith age range of(18-40) years old.Method:47 patients where included in the studywhich were evaluated first with the CAMBRA chart, Then the same data was used for Cariogram. All inputs where included except for the salivary buffering capacity. The results were calculated according to caries risk value (low / moderate / high / very high). Allassessment was conducted in the first visit with no follow up. Reproducibility between the results given by the two models was evaluated by using kappa statistical analysis.Results :The agreement between the two models was 2Fair3 of value 0.325 (low), withp-value<0.01 which makes the results statistically significant but not enough to make the result clinically significant, From this we can conclude that both caries risk assessment can give almost the same result concerning risk assessment except in the difference between high and very high-risk patient
