El diagnóstico preciso de caries mediante el sistema ICDAS constituye una competencia clínica relevante en odontopediatría; sin embargo, su aprendizaje puede resultar complejo para los estudiantes debido a la necesidad de reconocer y clasificar visualmente lesiones en distintos estadios. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el efecto del juego de mesa “Reto ICDAS” en la precisión diagnóstica de caries, entendida como el número de aciertos en la identificación y clasificación de lesiones según los códigos ICDAS. Se desarrolló un estudio cuantitativo, cuasi-experimental, con diseño pretest–postest de un solo grupo. Participaron 21 estudiantes de odontopediatría, correspondientes al censo total de la cohorte académica disponible. Se aplicó un instrumento visual ad hoc basado en 20 imágenes clínicas estandarizadas de la ICDAS Foundation, sin validación formal local previa. La intervención consistió en la aplicación del juego durante cuatro semanas. Los datos fueron analizados mediante estadística descriptiva y la prueba de rangos con signo de Wilcoxon. Los resultados mostraron un incremento de la media de precisión diagnóstica de 12.52 en el pretest a 16.86 en el postest, con diferencia estadísticamente significativa (Z = -4.015; p < .001) y tamaño del efecto alto (r = 0.87). Se concluye que el juego “Reto ICDAS” se asoció con una mejora en la precisión diagnóstica en el grupo evaluado; no obstante, por el diseño exploratorio, la ausencia de grupo control y la falta de validación local del instrumento, los hallazgos deben interpretarse como evidencia preliminar.
