Abstract(s)
A cárie dentária é uma das doenças crónicas mais prevalentes na população de todo o mundo. Esta patologia tem como causa uma complexa interação entre bactérias produtoras de ácido e hidratos de carbono fermentáveis e muitos fatores do hospedeiro, incluindo dentes e saliva. A doença desenvolve-se nas coroas e raízes dos dentes e pode surgir na primeira infância como uma cárie dentária agressiva que afeta os dentes decíduos dos bebés e crianças pequenas. Os fatores de risco para desenvolvimento de cárie incluem fatores físicos, biológicos, ambientais e comportamentais relacionados com o estilo de vida, como elevado número de bactérias cariogénicas, fluxo salivar inadequado, exposição insuficiente ao fluoreto, falta de higiene bucal, maus hábitos alimentares e pobreza. Este trabalho tem por objetivo o esclarecimento dos mecanismos bioquímicos da dieta alimentar e sua influência no desenvolvimento de cárie dentária.
Dental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in the population worldwide. This pathology results from a complex interaction between acid-producing bacteria and fermentable carbohydrates and many host factors, including teeth and saliva. The disease develops in the crowns and roots of teeth and can appear in early childhood as an aggressive tooth decay that affects the deciduous teeth of infants and young children. Risk factors for caries development include physical, biological, environmental, lifestyle- related behavioral factors such as high numbers of cariogenic bacteria, inadequate salivary flow, poor fluoride exposure, poor oral hygiene, poor eating habits, and poverty. This paper aims to clarify the biochemical mechanisms of the diet and its influence on dental caries.
