Introdução: A literatura científica recente indica que a utilização de probióticos tem revelado resultados promissores na prevenção da cárie dentária em crianças, devido à sua capacidade de promover um equilíbrio saudável do microbioma oral, inibindo o crescimento de bactérias patogénicas associadas ao desenvolvimento da cárie.
Objetivo: Avaliar se as crianças com a ingestão de probióticos apresentam menor prevalência de cárie dentária. Esta revisão sistematizada tem como objetivo responder à seguinte pergunta: O uso de probióticos diminui o risco de cárie dentária em pacientes pediátricos?
Materiais e métodos: A metodologia será realizada através de uma pesquisa nas bases de dados: PubMed e Cochrane Library. Os termos de pesquisa utilizados de acordo com o MeSH foram: “Probiotics” ou “Lactobacillus” ou “Bifidubacterium”, e “Dental Caries” ou “Tooth Decay” ou “Cariogenic Bacteria” e “Child” ou “Children” ou “Infant” e “Prevention &Control”, articuladas com os marcadores booleanos “AND” ou “OR”. Os critérios de inclusão foram estudos clínicos randomizados controlados realizados em crianças com idade inferior aos 18 anos sujeitas à ingestão de probióticos.
Resultados: A maioria dos estudos revisados verificou que o uso de probióticos resultou na diminuição das populações de Streptococcus mutans e na redução das lesões de cárie. Os estudos também observaram um aumento nas populações de Lactobacillus nos participantes que utilizaram probióticos.
Conclusão: Os probióticos são uma alternativa promissora na prevenção e controlo da cárie dentária, promovendo um equilíbrio saudável do microbioma oral e inibindo o crescimento de bactérias patogénicas.
Introduction: Recent scientific literature indicates that the use of probiotics has shown promising results in the prevention of dental caries in children, due to their ability to promote a healthy balance of the oral microbiome by inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria associated with caries development. Objective: To assess whether children who consume probiotics have a lower prevalence of dental caries. This systematic review aims to answer the following question: Does the use of probiotics decrease the risk of dental caries in pediatric patients? Materials and Methods: The methodology will be carried out through a search in the databases: PubMed and Cochrane Library. The search terms used according to MeSH were: “Probiotics” or “Lactobacillus” or “Bifidobacterium,” and “Dental Caries” or “Tooth Decay” or “Cariogenic Bacteria” and “Child” or “Children” or “Infant” and “Prevention & Control,” combined with the Boolean operators “AND” or “OR.” The inclusion criteria were randomized controlled clinical studies conducted on children under 18 years old who were subjected to probiotic intake. Results: Most of the studies reviewed found that the use of probiotics resulted in a reduction of Streptococcus mutans populations and a decrease in carious lesions. The studies also observed an increase in Lactobacillus populations in the participants who used probiotics. Conclusion: Probiotics are a promising alternative in the prevention and control of dental caries, promoting a healthy oral microbiome and inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
