Evaluation of Salivary Tests and Dental Status in the Prediction of Caries Increment in Caries-Susceptible Teenagers

Abstract: We evaluated caries increment in connection with salivary caries-related findings and dental status in teenagers by carrying out a retrospective follow-up, lasting on average 28 months. A total of 66 adolescents, mean age 15.2 years, were selected by their susceptibility to caries, as clinically defined at a routine checkup. Their baseline DMFT was 5.7, compared to 4.3 in the root population of 230 patients. Increment of caries on selected surfaces (ΔDFSs) included new caries reaching the dentine and new filli… Show more

“…As salivary flow increases, the concentration of bicarbonate ions also incerases, [24,25]. Saliva of individuals with considerable number of carious lesions often presents BC values lower than those who are relatively free of cavities [11,15]. All volunteers had normal BC and no active caries lesions.…”

“…Estudos prévios 7,14 relataram uma correlação negativa entre fluxo salivar e índice ceo-d. Este tipo de correlação também foi relatada para adolescentes do sexo feminino após estudo com duração de 28 meses 8 . Entretanto, pesquisa com adolescentes em São Paulo não encontrou correlação entre fluxo e CPO-D 13 .…”

“…A variabilidade individual do risco de cárie está relacionada, principalmente, com a dieta consumida e com o número de microrganismos cariogênicos presentes na placa bacteriana e na saliva 5,6 . Devido à importância da saliva em relação à prevenção da doença cárie, os testes salivares (capacidade tamponante e fluxo salivar) deveriam ser incluídos nos exames de rotina para avaliação de pacientes quanto ao risco de desenvolvimento da doença [7][8][9] . A capacidade tamponante da saliva é um importante fator de resistência à cárie dental, e o reduzido fluxo salivar, que geralmente está associado a uma baixa capacidade tamponante, pode causar infecções da mucosa oral e periodontites 10 .…”

“…Em pacientes adultos jovens os níveis de pH salivar variam entre 5,6 e 7,6, (média de 6,9) porém que o pH das crianças tende a ser 0,1 acima da média 6 . Dados a respeito do pH salivar de repouso não são encontrados com facilidade ao tratar-se de crianças, e poucos trabalhos foram publicados sobre o assunto [17][18][19][20][21] . Nesses estudos o pH de repouso das crianças na média era superior a 7,0.…”
