Objetivo: Rever a literatura científica atual sobre a relação entre o índice de massa corporal e a prevalência da cárie dentária em crianças de idade escolar.
Métodos: Pesquisa bibliográfica de artigos científicos publicados nas bases de dados eletrónicas: PubMed, Web of Science e B-On. Foram utilizados termos de pesquisa em combinação: dental caries, BMI, children, pediatric patient, obesity, e saliva. A seleção dos artigos foi realizada através da aplicação de critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Foram selecionados 64 artigos para a elaboração desta revisão.
Tópico abordado: Não existindo uma relação direta e indubitável entre a cárie dentária e a obesidade nas crianças, os Médicos Dentistas que fazem o atendimento destes pacientes devem de agir como agentes de Saúde Pública alertando as crianças e os seus responsáveis para os riscos e implicações que o sobrepeso e a obesidade infantis representam para a qualidade de vida, a saúde oral e geral das crianças.

Sixty four articles were selected for the development of this narrative review. Topic covered: Since there is no direct and incontestable relationship between dental caries and obesity in children, the dentists who treat these patients must act as public health agents, alerting children and their guardians about risks and implications that overweight and obesity in children pose to children's oral and general health.
