Abstract(s)
O pH salivar desempenha um papel fundamental na manutenção da saúde oral, influenciando diretamente o risco de desenvolvimento de cárie dentária e erosão do esmalte. A sua capacidade tampão permite neutralizar ácidos na cavidade oral, reduzindo o risco de desmineralização do esmalte e promovendo a sua remineralização. Uma estratégia potencial para manter esse equilíbrio pode ser a ingestão de água mineral com diferentes valores de pH. Assim, o presente estudo tem como objetivo mapear a evidência científica disponível sobre a influência do pH da água no risco de cárie dentária e erosão dentária.
A pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, ScienceDirect, CINAHL (via EBSCO host) e Cochrane Library, utilizando os termos “mineral water”, “water pH”, “dental caries” e “tooth erosion”. Os critérios de inclusão consideraram artigos que abordassem o pH da água e bebidas, a erosão dentária e a cárie, publicados em francês, português, espanhol e inglês. Após a seleção, foram incluídos 21 artigos na presente revisão de escopo. Foram analisados 7 ensaios clínicos randomizados, 6 estudos experimentais, 6 estudos observacionais e 2 revisões sistemáticas.
Os resultados indicam que o pH da água e de outras bebidas pode influenciar de forma significativa o risco de erosão e cárie dentária. O consumo de água com pH neutro ou alcalino parece oferecer um efeito protetor, ajudando a neutralizar os ácidos e reduzindo o impacto erosivo de bebidas ácidas. Além disso, a literatura aponta para a necessidade de mais estudos focados nos efeitos a longo prazo da ingestão de água mineral com diferentes pH na saúde oral.
Salivary pH plays a fundamental role in maintaining oral health, directly influencing the risk of developing dental caries and enamel erosion. Its buffering capacity helps neutralize acids in the oral cavity, reducing the risk of enamel demineralization and promoting remineralization. A potential strategy for maintaining this balance may be the consumption of mineral water with different pH levels. Thus, the present study aims to map the available scientific evidence on the influence of water pH on the risk of dental caries and erosion. A bibliographic search was conducted in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, CINAHL (via EBSCO host), and Cochrane Library databases using the terms “mineral water,” “water pH,” “dental caries,” and “tooth erosion.” The inclusion criteria considered articles addressing water and beverage pH, dental erosion, and caries, published in French, Portuguese, Spanish, and English. After selection, 21 articles were included in this scoping review. A total of 7 randomized clinical trials, 6 experimental studies, 6 observational studies, and 2 systematic reviews were analyzed. The results indicate that the pH of water and other beverages can significantly influence the risk of dental erosion and caries. The consumption of neutral or alkaline pH water appears to offer a protective effect, helping to neutralize acids and reducing the erosive impact of acidic beverages. Additionally, the literature highlights the need for more studies focused on the long-term effects of mineral water consumption with different pH levels on oral health.
