“…Despite previous studies showing that lactose is the least cariogenic sugar 19 , the present study indicates that lactose produced the same amount of biomass and it was as acidogenic as the other carbohydrates. It was suggested that the regular consumption of carbohydrates may predispose to early colonization of mutans streptococci and influence caries risk in the primary dentition 10 .…”

ResumoIntrodução: O consumo frequente de açucares e a presença de Streptococcus mutans e Streptococcus sobrinus estão correlacionados com maior experiência de cárie. Objetivo: Elucidar o efeito de diferentes carboidratos fermentáveis na biomassa e acidogenicidade de biofilmes formados por S. mutans e S. sobrinus. Material e método: Biofilmes única e dupla-espécie de S. mutans ATCC 25175 e S. sobrinus ATCC 27607 em concentrações iguais cresceram no fundo de placas de microtitulação por 24 h a 37 °C em microaerofilia. Maltose, sacarose, glicose e lactose foram adicionados a 2%. BHI caldo (0.2% glicose) foi usado como controle negativo. Acidogenicidade foi avaliada por meio da medição do pH do meio de cultura após 24 h, imediatamente após troca de meio e nas próximas 1 h e 2 h. Coloração por cristal violeta foi usada como indicador do total de biomassa aderida, após 24 h de incubação. Os dados foram analisados por teste ANOVA two way e Teste de Bonferroni. O nível de significância foi de 5%. Resultado: Todos os carboidratos resultaram em maior formação de biomassa em ambos os tipos de biofilme (única ou dupla-espécie), quando comparado ao grupo controle. Sacarose, lactose e maltose mostraram maior acidogenicidade que o grupo controle após 24 h nos biofilmes única ou dupla-espécie, apenas após 24 h. Conclusão: Os achados indicam que o tipo de biofilme (única ou dupla-espécie) e o tipo de carboidrato usado podem influenciar tanto na quantidade de biomassa formada quanto na taxa de redução do pH.Descritores: Biofilme; biomassa; Streptococcus mutans; Streptococcus sobrinus. AbstractIntroduction: Frequent consumption of sugars and the presence of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus are correlated with higher caries experience. Objective: The aim of this pilot study was to elucidate the effect of different fermentable carbohydrates on biomass formation and acidogenicity of S. mutans and S. sobrinus biofilms. Material and method: Single and dual-species biofilms of S. mutans ATCC 25175 and S. sobrinus ATCC 27607 were grown at the bottom of microtiter plates at equal concentrations for 24 h at 37 °C under micro-aerobic atmosphere. Carbohydrates were added at 2% concentration: maltose, sucrose, glucose and lactose. BHI Broth (0.2% glucose) was used as negative control. Acidogenicity was assessed by measuring the pH of spent culture medium after 24 h, immediately after refreshing the culture medium and for the next 1 h and 2 h. Crystal violet staining was used as an indicator of the total attached biofilm biomass after 24 h incubation. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. Significance level was set at 5%. Result: All carbohydrates resulted in higher biomass formation in single-and dual-species biofilms when compared to the control group. Sucrose, lactose and maltose showed higher acidogenicity than the control group in both single-and dual-species biofilms after 24 h. Conclusion: These findings indicate that the type of biofilm (single-or dual-species) and the carbohydrate use...

“…This fact suggests that glucose and sucrose may provide higher cariogenic potential to biofilms than maltose. In the same way, it has been suggested that lactose is less cariogenic than sucrose, glucose and maltose 19 .…”

“…70 Between-meal consumption and high intake frequency of sweet drinks increase their cariogenic potential. 42,71 In comparison with periodic sipping, mealtime consumption of soft drinks is less harmful to the dentition. 72,73 A Flemish study of 4468 children aged 7 years found daily consumption of sugared drinks and twice-daily between-meal intake of sugared snacks was associated with caries.…”

“…75 Similarly, a US cross-sectional study of 306 children aged 1-5 years with and without caries experience concluded that the cariogenicity of a food or drink was more likely to be related to the frequency and duration of intake than the type of sugar in the product. 71 An early review of the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I) data found no correlation between high DMFT scores and reported fruit juice intake of participants for the period 1971-1974. 76 A later review of NHANES III data found an association between increased soft drink intake and increased DMFS in persons aged 25 years and older, but not in younger age groups.…”

Contemporary fluid intake and dental caries in Australian children

In Australia, caries experience of 6-year-old and 12-year-old children has increased since the mid to late 1990s. Previously, caries rates had declined, attributable to community water fluoridation. The recent caries increase has been attributed speculatively to changes in fluid intake, including increased consumption of sweet drinks and bottled waters. Increasing urbanization and globalization have altered children's diets worldwide, promoting availability and access to processed foods and sweet drinks. Studies in Australia and internationally have demonstrated significant associations between sweet drink intake and caries experience. Despite widespread fluoride availability in contemporary Australian society, the relationship between sugar consumption and caries development continues and restricting sugar intake remains key to caries prevention. Caries risk assessment should be included in treatment planning for all children; parents should be advised of their child's risk level and given information on oral health promotion. Readily-implemented caries risk assessment tools applicable to parents and clinicians are now available. Public health information should increase awareness that consuming sweet drinks can have deleterious effects on the dentition as well as the potential for promoting systemic disease. Restricting sales of sweet drinks and sweet foods and providing healthy food and drinks for purchase in schools is paramount.

“…This reduces the chances of dental caries and helps the parents to brush their child's teeth prior going to bed. It is found helpful in breaking the habit of using a feeding bottle which is usually advocated for children up to 12 months of age (Marshall et al, 2007). Most of the mothers preferred to continue breastfeeding from twelve to twenty four months of child age while only few mothers stopped breastfeeding after six months.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC) and factors leading to it among 71 months of age children or younger in Karachi, Pakistan. ECC is a preventable chronic disease affecting infants and children worldwide. The early detection of ECC can reduce pain and life threatening conditions and help growth and development of infant and children. A crosssectional study was conducted in Karachi, Pakistan. About 650 mothers of children (71 months of age or younger) were randomly selected and interviewed using a pretested semi-structured questionnaire. The dental examination was performed by the dentist, who was calibrated against a standard examiner using World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. The data was entered and analysed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 16 software. ECC was found in 23.5% of children with mean decayed missing and filled teeth (dmft) of 0.67. The factors identified were age of the child, mother educational and occupational status, sweetened drink consumption at night and not utilizing routine dental health care services. This study concluded that high proportion of ECC was found among children (71 months of age children or younger) and factors identified were all preventable and needs attention to promote dental health education and routine dental visits.
