Dental caries is driven by dysbiosis of the dental biofilm adherent to the enamel surface. Effective preventive methods include inhibiting the cariogenic microorganisms, treatment with an anti-biofilm agent, and sugar intake control.
28 lis 2013 · Miller postulated the chemo-parasitic theory of dental caries, with acids produced by the fermentation of sugars by bacteria as the primary factor in dental decay. This remarkable early study remains the bedrock of understanding how dental caries occurs to this day.
1 sty 2009 · With no risk of understatement, sugar was the dominant reason for the high caries prevalence seen in most countries at the beginning of the 20th century, but there has been a dramatic change in the impact of food sugars on dental caries since the middle of the last century.
Studies have confirmed the direct relation between intake of dietary sugars and dental caries across the life span. Since the introduction of fluoride, the incidence of caries worldwide has decreased, despite increases in sugars consumption.
13 maj 2024 · Current conceptualizations of dental caries etiology center primarily on the local role of sugar, starch, or other fermentable carbohydrates on tooth enamel demineralization—a well-established and empirically supported mechanism.
Studies have confirmed the direct relation between intake of dietary sugars and dental caries across the life span. Since the introduction of fluoride, the incidence of caries worldwide has decreased, despite increases in sugars consumption.
