“…The primary impact of nutrition on dental caries is understanding that refraining from carbohydrates consumed in solid or liquid form translates into an absence of dental caries [35,41]. The literature shows us that populations living on a diet low in carbohydrates develop dental caries to a shallow extent [48].…”

This study aimed to review the dietary risk factors for root caries prevalence in older adults, from socially active people to frail patients. A comprehensive search strategy was used to select studies from PubMed and Scopus databases. Two evalua-tors performed data extraction, screening, and quality assessment independently. Only studies written in English were included. Caries is very common in the elderly, as there are several aggravating factors such as the decrease of the ability to self-care and, by extension, insufficient oral hygiene, a carious diet, limited exposure to fluoride, xero-stomia, gingival recession, limited access to dental care. Root caries is prevalent in the elderly due to gingival recession and root exposure to the oral environment. Dietary risk factors significantly affect root caries prevalence in older adults, including high intake of sugars and an alteration of their composition preference in this age group. Caries risk appears more significant in frail, standardized patients who feed with even softer food or supplements.

“…After duplicate removal and screening of a total of 995 remaining records, 24 records were selected for fulltext evaluation. Excluding 14 reports mainly because they did not assess dental caries/health through clinical examination (Appendix S3), [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] nine journal articles (eight studies) 12,14,15,[35][36][37][38][39][40] and one thesis 13 meeting the inclusion criteria were included in this systematic review. Except four journal articles (one duplicate report of the same study, 39 one with the same data source, 38 and two with insufficient required data 36,40 ), the other six reports were all considered for meta-analysis.…”

Background: Food insecurity (FI) is associated with dietary practices, which can act as a risk factor for dental caries.Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between FI and dental caries prevalence in children and adolescents.Design: MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, SCOPUS, ISI web of knowledge, Cochrane, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global database (up to April 19, 2022) as well as reference lists were searched. Eligible studies compared dental caries prevalence in food-secure and food-insecure individuals younger than 19 years. Two independent reviewers performed study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment using a modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Metaanalysis was performed, and the pooled odds ratio (OR) was calculated at 95% confidence interval (95% CI).Results: Among the 1350 retrieved records, 10 cross-sectional reports were selected for systematic review. Six studies involving 8631 participants were included in the meta-analysis. More than half of the reports were published within the period 2019-2021. All studies except one were judged as low risk of bias. Overall, the prevalence of dental caries was greater among the food-insecure children and adolescents (OR: 2.01, 95% CI: 1.52-2.65, p < .001, I 2 : 73.5%). Similarly, all three categories of FI were significantly associated with caries experience (marginal FI:

Functional sugar-free chewing gum infused with spices bolsters antioxidant capacity and phenolic content of saliva

Oral and vascular diseases are seemingly disparate conditions, yet individuals with poor oral health are at increased risk for cardiovascular events. Spice-derived bioactive polyphenols with antioxidant functionality may attenuate mechanisms linking the diseases, namely oxidative stress and inflammation. Acknowledging that novel approaches to increase antioxidant intake are warranted, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of two functional sugar-free gums infused with spices on antioxidant capacity and phenolic content of saliva using the oxygen radical absorbance capacity and Folin-Ciocalteu assays, respectively. Unstimulated followed by stimulated saliva was collected according to a validated method across a prescribed five minute chewing period. Both gums significantly increased hydrophilic, lipophilic, and total antioxidant capacity of saliva (p < 0.05) yet to varying extents. Phenolic content of saliva was significantly higher (p < 0.001) post-chew for both gums. Results suggest spices infused into sugar-free chewing gum bolster the antioxidant capacity of saliva, thereby promoting oral health. Research evaluating the sublingual absorption of spice-derived antioxidants in functional gums and their influence on systemic oxidative stress is warranted.
