“…1 Second, gingival recession, which can be etiologically attributed to periodontal disease, is also a risk factor for dental caries. 2 Finally, social factors are determinants of periodontal disease and caries in the Finnish population. Higher socioeconomic status is associated with lower prevalence of caries and periodontal disease, 3 and increased social cohesion is related to improved oral care practices.…”

“…2 It would have been interesting to see the results adjusted for the number of teeth in the mouth. Dividing by the teeth present (to get the proportion of teeth with periodontal disease or caries) is not the same as statistical adjustment.…”

“…Caries alters oral function, interfering with the masticatory process, which may compromise the nutritional condition [Castrejón-Pérez and Borges-Yáñez, 2014]. Caries-induced tooth damage is the main causative factor for tooth loss in the elderly [Sugihara et al, 2010]. Besides the oral consequences of caries, the disease also negatively influences the quality of life [León et al, 2014].…”

Cariogenicity of a Milk-Based Drink Used as a Dietary Supplement for Older Adults Using a Root Caries Experimental Model

et al. 2018

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cariogenicity of a milk-based drink intended for older adults that was used as part of a governmental initiative in Chile to improve their nutritional conditions. This drink contains a high concentration of sugars, which can contribute to root caries development. To test this hypothesis, an experimental biofilm/caries model was used. Dentin slabs were used to grow biofilms of Streptococcus mutans UA159. Slabs/biofilms were exposed 3× per day to bovine milk with different fat content, the milk-based drink, and the milk-based drink supplemented with 10 g of sucrose added per serving. Slabs exposed to 10% sucrose or 0.9% NaCl were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Biofilms were analyzed for bacterial counts and acidogenicity. Dentin demineralization was estimated by the loss of surface microhardness and integrated mineral loss. Results were compared by analysis of variance and Tukey’s test. The milk-based drink showed higher acidogenicity than milk with its entire (whole) or reduced total fat content (skim). The milk-based drink supplemented with sucrose had similar acidogenicity as the 10% sucrose positive control (p = 0.506). Whole milk exposure elicited lower bacterial counts than the positive control, the milk-based drink, and the milk-based drink supplemented with sucrose (p = 0.002; 0.006 and 0.014 respectively). Although skim milk induced higher demineralization than whole milk, both milk types produced lower demineralization than the milk-based drink. Regarding integrated mineral loss, demineralization induced by the milk-based drink and the milk-based drink supplemented with sucrose was similar to that induced by the positive control and skim milk (p > 0.05). Sugar-containing milk-based drinks used as dietary supplements for older adults may be highly cariogenic and could represent a potential risk for root caries.

“…A number of epide-miological studies have investigated dental caries in Japan, and especially root caries in older adults 5,9,11,13,14) . However, few studies have investigated the incidence of coronal or root caries in adults less than 60 years old, indi cating the urgent need to obtain reliable longitudinal data on these phenomena in order to predict the future development of dental caries in the Japanese population.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of coronal and root caries in participants aged 20-59 years in Japan. The participants comprised 118 men and 23 women undergoing a re-examination 5 years after an initial examination. Lesions were classified as gingival recession, decayed root caries, or filled surfaces. The rates of incidence of coronal caries over the 5 years were 87% in women aged 20-29 years, 77% in men aged 20-29 years, 62% in men aged 30-39 years, 64% in men aged 40-49 years, and 60% in men aged 50-59 years. The rates for those observed to be at risk for the incidence of root caries were 25% for women aged 20-29 years, 16% for men aged 20-29 years, 11% for men aged 30-39 years, 43% for men aged 40-49 years, and 35% for men aged 50-59 years. The distribution for the number of new coronal and root caries lesions was 68.8% and 24.1%, respectively. Univariate logistic regression analyses for new coronal caries revealed that the risk factors were age group at baseline (OR=0.702, p=0.0440), number of coronal decayed and filled surfaces at baseline (OR=2.893, p=0.0107), and number of sound teeth at baseline (OR=3.381, p=0.0013). Moreover, univariate logistic regression analyses for new root caries revealed that the risk factors were age group at baseline (OR=1.787, p=0.0039), presence or absence of gingival recession at baseline (OR=3.288, p=0.0062), and presence or absence of root decayed and filled surfaces at baseline (OR=11.00, p<0.0001). It was concluded from these results that the target of caries prevention in adults should not only be focused on root surfaces, especially in those aged 40 years or over, but also on the coronal surfaces of the dentition in those in their twenties.
