“…In situ studies have shown that the presence of fluoride can reduce enamel demineralization if sucrose consumption is not higher than 6 times/day, but it is not able to completely inhibit demineralization under such conditions. 21 In this way, the presence of fluoride ions in the oral environment may interfere in the carious process by inhibiting demineralization.…”

The effect of a combination of topical fluoridation methods for inhibition of enamel demineralization in the face of a cariogenic challenge has not been clearly established. This in situ crossover study aimed to assess whether the addition of daily use of fluoride mouthrinse (FR) to that of fluoride dentifrice (FD) is equivalent to increasing the frequency of FD application in terms of the effect on enamel demineralization and fluoride content. Over 3 phases of 14 days each, 12 volunteers wore appliances containing enamel blocks exposed to a 20% sucrose solution 8 times/day. During each phase the blocks underwent one of the following treatments: 2x/day FD, 2x/day FD + 1x/day FR, and 3x/day FD. The blocks were assessed for hardness and fluoride content. Three x/day FD did not differ from 2x/day + 1x/day FR, however it enhanced demineralization protection when compared to 2x/day FD. All treatments produced an increase in enamel fluoride content compared to no treatment (sound blocks) (p < 0.05), but the differences between them were not significant. The results of this study suggest that the daily use of fluoride mouthrinse combined with that of fluoride dentifrice has similar effects on enamel demineralization and fluoride content when compared to increasing the frequency of fluoride dentifrice use.

“…This has been proven experimentally by showing that when fluoride toothpaste is not being used, an enamel demineralization occurs with only three exposures to sugar per day [17][18] . However, if the individual is regularly using fluoride toothpaste, this can reduce enamel demineralization of the sugar consumption when it is not greater than six times per day 19 .…”

Dental caries is a non-communicable disease and is considered a public health problem. For diagnosis and correct treatment RESUMOA cárie dentária é uma doença não infecciosa e é considerada um problema de saúde pública. Para seu diagnóstico e correto tratamento é necessário a avaliação do risco e da atividade da doença cárie. A avaliação do risco de cárie é uma maneira de formalizar o equilíbrio e desequilíbrio da doença de modo previsível para realizar o diagnóstico da doença presente. Para tanto, a avaliação do risco de cárie é realizada através de diferentes sistemas. Outro parâmetro de grande importância a ser estudado é a atividade da doença cárie, pois através dela é realizada a correta decisão de tratamento para o paciente. Assim, o objetivo do presente artigo foi informar ao leitor: os conceitos e fatores de risco de cárie; os diferentes sistemas de avaliação de risco de cárie descritos na literatura; e quais sistemas são validados. Contudo, esta revisão de literatura proporciona a identificação e avaliação dos fatores de risco e atividade das lesões de cárie afim de possibilitar uma maior objetividade no diagnóstico e facilitar as decisões de um tratamento bem-sucedido.Termos de indexação: Cárie dentária. Diagnóstico bucal. Risco.

“…No studies indicated that tea was detrimental to adult dental health, although there were no specific studies on the effects of sweetened tea. A study on sweetened liquids showed that seven exposures per day did not result in net demineralization when fluoride was present so this may indicate that sweetened tea is unlikely to be harmful to dental health when consumed at current levels (Duggal et al, 2001).…”

Black tea – helpful or harmful? A review of the evidence

Objective: To consider whether consumption of black tea has a positive or negative impact on health. Design: Databases were searched for relevant epidemiological and clinical studies published between 1990 and 2004. Results: Clear evidence was found for coronary heart disease (CHD), where an intake of X3 cups per day related to risk reduction. The mechanism could involve the antioxidant action of tea polyphenols. While experimental models have suggested that flavonoids attenuated cancer risk, epidemiological studies failed to demonstrate a clear effect for tea, although there is moderate evidence for a slightly positive or no effect of black tea consumption on colorectal cancer. Studies on cancer were limited by sample sizes and insufficient control of confounders. There is moderate evidence suggestive of a positive effect of black tea consumption on bone mineral density although studies were few. There is little evidence to support the effect of tea on dental plaque inhibition but evidence to support the contribution of tea to fluoride intakes and thus theoretical protection against caries. There was no credible evidence that black tea (in amounts typically consumed) was harmful. Normal hydration was consistent with tea consumption when the caffeine content was o250 mg per cup. A moderate caffeine intake from tea appeared to improve mental performance, although sample sizes were small. There was no evidence that iron status could be harmed by tea drinking unless populations were already at risk from anaemia. Conclusions: There was sufficient evidence to show risk reduction for CHD at intakes of X3 cups per day and for improved antioxidant status at intakes of one to six cups per day. A maximum intake of eight cups per day would minimise any risk relating to excess caffeine consumption. Black tea generally had a positive effect on health. Sponsorship: The Tea Council.
