“…This study shows that the chewing parameters are affected in fully dentate patients with morbid obesity compared with controls and confirms, as previously demonstrated in other populations, that the number of functional dental units controls chewing efficiency [15][16][17][18]. Obese subjects with an impaired dental status could not produce a food bolus with the same particle size distribution as the fully dentate patients.…”

“…The British Department of Health and Social Security survey on nutrition and health shows that dentate people with fewer than 21 natural teeth are, on average, more than three times more likely to be obese than those with 21-32 teeth [17]. Persons who wear dentures select soft food that is easy to chew and avoid foods that are rich in dietary fiber and nutrients [16][17][18]. Several studies [19][20][21][22] have focused on eating behavior in persons with obesity.…”

“…Low saliva production causes difficulties forming the bolus in the early masticatory stages, especially with foods rich in fiber, such as meat and vegetables, and thus compromises their consumption 45 . Furthermore, a negative self-perception of oral health is not only an indicator of functional problems, but also of the psychosocial impact of oral health on nutrition 23,46 , such as discouragement due to social isolation during mealtimes or the extra burden of the family having to prepare a special menu.…”

OBJETIVO: Examinar la asociación entre el déficit nutricional y problemas de salud oral en adultos mayores no institucionalizados de una comunidad en Brasil. MÉTODOS: En este estudio transversal fueron obtenidos datos de 267 adultos mayores (160 mujeres y 107 hombres) con edad entre los 60 y 74 años provenientes del censo del área de cobertura de un Equipo del Programa Salud de la Familia de Londrina, Brasil. El déficit nutricional fue identificado con la Mini Evaluación Nutricional (< 24 puntos). La valoración odontológica incluyó exploración bucodental, medición del flujo salivar estimulado y aplicación del Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index para la percepción oral. Los análisis multivariantes fueron ajustados por variables sociodemográficas, depresión y consumo de medicamentos. RESULTADOS: El déficit nutricional fue detectado en 58 ancianos (21,7%). Entre las variables odontológicas, la ausencia de oclusión posterior (Odds Ratio, OR: 2,18; Intervalo de Confianza, IC95%: 1,06 - 4,45), el flujo salivar estimulado < 0,7 ml/minuto (OR: 2,18, IC95%: 1,06 - 4,50), la enfermedad periodontal avanzada (OR: 6,54; IC95%: 2,03 -21,00) y la percepción negativa de la salud oral (OR: 3,41; IC95%: 1,59 - 7,33) se asociaron al déficit nutricional de modo independiente del sexo, edad, clase económica, escolaridad, consumo de tabaco, depresión y uso de medicamentos. CONCLUSIONES: El deterioro de la salud oral se asoció al déficit nutricional, y por lo tanto se requiere mayor integración entre odontología y nutrición en la promoción de salud en adultos mayores, especialmente en la prevención de la pérdida dental y en la rehabilitación oclusal posterior, evitándose obstáculos para una dieta adecuada.

“…Consequently, it could be expected that patients with multiple untreated carious lesions would be at higher risk of developing metabolic diseases and diabetes than persons with healthy teeth. Many reports suggest that an impaired masticatory function favours inappropriate diet [N'gom and Woda, 2002] and poor oral health status is associated with the selection of soft food, easy to chew and with avoidance of foods rich in dietary fibre and nutrients [Johansson et al, 1994;Sheiham et al, 2002;Nowjack-Raymer and Sheiham, 2003;de Oliveira and Frigerio, 2004;Cousson et al, 2012]. Such diets increase the risks for cardiovascular diseases.…”

Persons who have multiple untreated carious lesions are at high risk of chewing difficulties and consequently an unhealthy diet, but few data are available on the impact of untreated caries on mastication in adults. This study in adults with multiple untreated caries lesions aimed to evaluate chewing deficiencies using physiological and psychosocial indicators. Forty-five patients, mean (±SD) decayed teeth 11.5 (±5.2), and 20 fully dentate caries-free subjects were observed during mastication of raw carrot and two jelly model foods differing in hardness. Criteria for chewing evaluation were carrot bolus granulometry, food refusals, chewing activity (chewing time, number of chewing cycles, chewing frequency) and oral health-related quality of life (GOHAI). Dental status was characterized by caries experience (DMFT) and posterior functional pairs of teeth. Adults with multiple untreated caries lesions suffered from chewing deficiencies, demonstrated by a decrease in food comminution related to the number of posterior functional teeth, food selection and functional alterations in oral health-related quality of life. The ability to adapt chewing activity to food hardness was preserved in this group. Further studies should be conducted to determine whether chewing function could be improved after dental treatment.
