Abstract(s)
A cárie dentária é a doença oral mais comum tanto em crianças como em adultos. Resulta da interação entre bactérias presentes na cavidade oral, açúcares alimentares e os dentes, levando à destruição progressiva da estrutura dentária. Inicialmente, ocorre a desmineralização do esmalte e, posteriormente, da dentina, podendo atingir a polpa e causar dor, abcessos dentários e necessidade de tratamentos invasivos.
A prevenção da cárie tem um papel crucial na manutenção da saúde dentária. Por essa razão, diversas estratégias foram desenvolvidas para reduzir a sua incidência. Estas abordagens incluem desde a higiene oral pessoal até intervenções clínicas avançadas e programas de prevenção.
O objetivo desta revisão é avaliar as estratégias de prevenção da lesão de cárie, desde práticas diárias até técnicas e produtos inovadores, incluindo tratamentos realizados pelo profissional de saúde oral, esclarecendo as suas vantagens e indicações.
Para a elaboração desta revisão narrativa, foi realizada uma pesquisa nas bases de dados PubMed/Medline e Google Scholar, utilizando as palavras-chave: higiene oral, cárie dentária, flúor, estratégias de prevenção, profilaxia, educação, combinadas com operadores booleanos (AND/OR). Foram incluídos artigos publicados entre 2013 e 2023, maioritariamente em inglês, mas também em francês e português, desde que apresentassem informação relevante sobre estratégias de prevenção da cárie.
Os resultados obtidos mostram que as estratégias preventivas são eficazes na redução da incidência de cáries. A utilização de flúor, a escovagem adequada, o uso do fio dentário, visitas regulares ao dentista, e até novas abordagens, como aplicações digitais e canções educativas, são fundamentais na promoção da saúde oral.
Conclui-se que a implementação de medidas preventivas deve ser incentivada desde a infância, promovendo hábitos de higiene oral e acompanhamento profissional regular, com vista a reduzir o impacto da cárie dentária na população.
Objective: Dental caries is the most common oral disease in both children and adults. It results from the interaction between bacteria in the oral cavity, dietary sugars, and teeth, leading to the progressive destruction of dental structures. Initially, enamel demineralization occurs, followed by dentin demineralization. If the lesion reaches the pulp, it causes pain, dental abscesses, and requires invasive treatments. Caries prevention plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health. For this reason, various strategies have been developed to reduce its incidence. These approaches range from personal oral hygiene to advanced clinical interventions and prevention programs. This review aims to evaluate caries prevention strategies, from daily practices to innovative techniques and products, including in-office treatments by dental professionals, clarifying their advantages and indications. For the development of this narrative review, a search was conducted in the PubMed/Medline and Google Scholar databases, using the keywords: oral hygiene, dental carie, fluoride, prevention strategies, prophylaxis, education, combined with Boolean operators (AND/OR). Inclusion criteria were established for articles published between 2013 and 2023, mainly in English, but also in French and Portuguese, provided they contained relevant information on caries prevention strategies. The results indicate that preventive strategies effectively reduce the incidence of caries. The use of fluoride, proper brushing, flossing, regular dental visits, and even new approaches such as digital applications and educational songs are essential in promoting oral health. It is concluded that the implementation of preventive measures should be encouraged from childhood, promoting oral hygiene habits and regular professional follow-up to reduce the impact of dental caries on the population.
