“…Basic research aimed at seeking potential new agents for the use of caries prophylaxis by inhibiting the development and metabolism of cariogenic biofilms is important in the face of the non-decreasing problem of childhood caries [1,[17][18][19]. In addition, knowledge about the relationship between the development of secondary caries and diet [20], as well as the reduction of cariogenic sugars' (e.g., sucrose) consumption, is important to develop new strategies for preventing this disease and plan healthcare in particular groups of patients.…”

Secondary caries is a disease associated with the formation of biofilm on the border of the tooth and dental filling. Its development is strongly influenced by the dietary sweet foods and the type of dental material. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of sweeteners on the ability of clinical Streptococcus mutans strains to form biofilm on dental materials. Strains were isolated from plaque samples from 40 pediatric patients from the 3–6 ICADS II group. The ability to form biofilm was tested on composite and glass ionomer dental materials used for milk teeth filling in the presence of sucrose, xylitol, sorbitol, and erythritol. The bacterial film mass after 12, 24, 48, and 72 h and the number of bacterial colonies significantly decreased (p < 0.01) compared to the initial value for 5% erythritol and sorbitol on examined materials. A greater inhibitory effect was noted for glass ionomers compared to composites. Sucrose and xylitol supported biofilm formation, while erythritol had the best inhibitory effect. The use of fluoride-releasing glass ionomers exerted an effect synergistic to erythritol, i.e., inhibited plaque formation and the amount of cariogenic S. mutans. Selection of proper type of dental material together with replacing sucrose with polyols can significantly decrease risk of secondary caries development. Erithritol in combination with glass ionomer seems to be the most effective in secondary caries prevention.

“…Dieta: esta debe comenzar a partir de los 6 meses de edad, por lo que es importante introducir alimentos en pequeñas cantidades, de forma lenta y progresiva evitando añadir azúcar o brindar alimentos endulzados como la leche condensada y la miel (42,(46)(47). Después de los seis meses y hasta los dos años se continúa con lactancia materna, con una alimentación balanceada y equilibrada para un correcto crecimiento y desarrollo (48).…”

RESUMEN Introducción: La caries de la primera infancia, es considerada una enfermedad infantil prevenible, global, no transmisible de importancia médico-social y económica que más afecta a la mitad de niños y niñas menores de 6 años en todo el mundo, especialmente en los países en desarrollo. Por lo cual su prevalencia es variable en función de las características socioculturales y socioeconómicas de las poblaciones. Objetivo: El objetivo del presente fue determinar los métodos de prevención de la caries de infancia temprana en base a la literatura actual publicada .Métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de artículos científicos en diferentes bases de datos digitales considerando los artículos publicados desde el 2013 sobre la caries de la primera infancia. Las búsquedas incluyeron Scielo, The Lancet, PubMed, Google Académico, Cochrane, sitios web oficiales de la OMS, OPS, MSP; a través de los criterios de inclusión y exclusión se seleccionaron 70 artículos entre los cuales se incluyeron intervenciones, casos y control, estudios aleatorizados y no aleatorizados, estudios de cohorte y protocolos institucionales en idioma español e inglés.Discusión: Todos los autores coinciden en la importancia del papel de los padres, la alimentación y sobre todo de las actividades de prevención y promoción de salud desde la familia y durante el embarazo Conclusiones: Las acciones simples, eficaces y de bajo costo, supervisadas por padres y maestros constituyen actividades de promoción en salud bucal necesarias en la prevención de la caries en niños menores de 6 años. Palabras clave: Caries en la primera infancia; etiología; cepillado dental; alimentación

“…The economic crisis and the lack of public health programmes affect the availability of both food and oral hygiene resources. High values of DMFT (Decayed Missing Filled Teeth) in countries such as Israel, Syria, Perù, and Serbia are linked to the lack of free distribution of fluoride toothpastes and toothbrushes in the poorest communities, and, in Syria, there is the economic crisis that has caused an increase in sugar intake and an increase in the barriers that families face for the availability of fresh food and oral hygiene products; studies carried out in Perù also highlight poverty, sugar intake, and a low literacy rate, which all encourage the increase of ECC in children [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”

Dental caries is one of the most common diseases—both in adults and children—that occurs due to the demineralization of enamel and dentine by the organic acids formed from bacteria present in dental plaques through anaerobic metabolism of dietary sugars. The aim of this article is to provide a guideline to assess the risk of caries by looking for the main factors involved. Literature research was performed for studies that analyzed the factors most involved in the development of child caries, such as poor oral hygiene, bad eating habits (or food disorders), and an alteration of the oral bacterial flora—with an increase of Streptococci spp., Lactobacilli spp., Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Candida sake. It is therefore essential to assess the risk of caries in children, based on the assessment of risk factors, in order to be able to establish preventive and/or therapeutic approaches that will reduce or stop the development of dental caries. The use of fluoride products, products made from casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate, substituted zinc biomimetic hydroxyapatite products, or products containing self-assembling oligopeptide SAP-P11-4 are useful. In terms of the clinical approach, a communicative approach should be added to learn about the eating habits and the oral hygiene habits of the child and parents; in addition, the use of a simple method to frame the factors involved, and subsequently establish the risk of carious lesions in the child, allows the reduction of the DMFT (Decayed Missing Filled Teeth) or ICDAS (International Caries Detection and Assessment System) index on large scales.
