“…132,133 Thus, hyposalivation is related to dental caries. 134 Some systemic and metabolic disorders, such as Sjögren´s syndrome, medications, and head and neck irradiation, may cause salivary hypofunction, increasing the risk of caries. 91,135,136 The oral microbiota on clinically sound enamel surfaces comprises mainly non-mutans streptococci and Actinomyces.…”

Risk factors for dental caries in Latin American and Caribbean countries

Identifying the risk factors for dental caries is vital in epidemiology and clinical practices for developing effective preventive strategies, both, at the individual and collective levels. Different causality/determination models have been proposed to understand the development process of dental caries. In the present review, we designed a model inspired by the world-known social determinants models proposed in the 90s and more recently in the 10s, wherein the contextual factors are placed more externally and encompass the individual factors. The contextual factors included those related to the cultural and societal values, as well as the social and health government policies. The individual factors were classified into the following categories: socioeconomic (social class, occupation, income, and education level), demographic characteristics (age, sex, and ethnicity), behavioral factors (non-use of fluoride dentifrice, sugar consumption, poor oral hygiene, and lack of preventive dental care), and biological factors (recent caries experience/active caries lesions, biofilm retentive factors, developmental defects of the enamel, disabilities, saliva amount and quality, cariogenic biofilm). Each of these variables was addressed, while focusing on the current evidence from studies conducted in Latin American and Caribbean countries (LACC). Based on the proposed model, educational aspects were addressed, and individual caries risk assessment and management decisions were proposed; further, implications for public health policies and clinical practice were described. The identification of modifiable risk factors for dental caries should be the basis for multi-strategy actions that consider the diversity of Latin American communities.

“…This study revealed an SCD prevalence of 5.7% (99 out of 1753 hospitalizations) [22]. Chronic hemolytic anemia, sickle cell crisis, susceptibility to bacterial infections, and slow tissue deterioration are the hallmarks of this condition [23]. SCD may present in various ways that might impact different body organs, including the kidney, lungs, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems, and so on [24].…”

“…On the other hand, SCD patients have a higher risk of dental complications due to changes in the dental structure, medications that contain sucrose, and increased susceptibility to infections, as found in an observational cross-sectional study by Medeiros et al in 2018. Poor dental hygiene is always a risk factor for SCD [23].…”

Blood comprises various cellular elements and serves as our immune system's second line of defense. Deviations from its normal composition can have adverse effects on health. At the same time, the oral mucosa in the oral cavity functions as the body's first line of defense, and any anomalies or diseases within it can give rise to both systemic and oral complications. If left untreated, caries can lead to severe tooth damage or extraction, potentially affecting an individual's nutrition and overall health. This review article focuses on the importance of understanding the intricate relationship between blood disorders and oral health. It underscores the profound impact of oral manifestations of blood disorders such as β-thalassemia, sickle cell disease, iron deficiency anemia, leukemia, hemophilia, Plummer-Vinson syndrome, erythroblastosis fetalis, Fanconi anemia, cyclic neutropenia, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia on the overall well-being of an individual.
