“…while the volume, frequency and quality of the foods ingested are the most important factors in obesity [30], the local effect of eating practices (frequency and quality) are suggested to have a greater impact on dental caries than the systemic effect of nutrient intake [31].…”

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between excess body weight (EBW) and the prevalence of dental caries in preschoolers considering parental control regarding snack consumption. Material and Methods: An observational, population-based, cross-sectional study was conducted at Municipal Child Education Centers in the city of Curitiba, Brazil, involving a representative sample of 686 preschool children aged four to five years and eleven months and their parents/caregivers. Dental caries was analyzed using the dmft index. Weight and height were measured for the determination of the body mass index, which was categorized for each zscore range considering age and sex. Children with overweight or obesity were considered to have EBW. The assessment of nutritional status was performed with the aid of the WHO Anthro and WHO Anthro Plus programs. The data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Poisson regression analysis with robust variance (α= 0.05). Results: The children with EBW had a lower prevalence rate of caries, but this association lost its significance when adjusted by the other variables included in the multivariate model. In the multivariate regression analysis, household income per capita (PR=0.804; 95%CI: 0.665-0.972), child's age (PR=1.015; 95%CI: 1.001-1.029) and snack limits (PR=0.839; 95%IC: 0.732-0.962) were associated with a greater prevalence rate of dental caries. Conclusion: Excess body weight was not significantly associated with dental caries, whereas a lower parental limit regarding snack consumption by the children was independently associated with a higher prevalence rate of dental caries.

“…Positive association can be partly explained by the high sugar consumption in EU-27 population. Sugars are one of the most dental caries cause [10] and the consequences of dental caries are cause pain [11,12]. Sugars consumption were 30.2kg per person/year in the Slovak Republic in 2015 [13].…”

Objective: To evaluate the association between frequency sweet consumption of drink (food) and teeth number, prevalence of dental checkups and teeth pain in European population. Material and Methods: In this descriptive study, the data was evaluated from Eurobarometer database 72.3. It was involved 30.292 of citizens from EU-27 (European Union) countries in Eurobarometer research. The necessary conditions for the including of European countries in our research were complete information about: (i) frequency of sweet consumption (%) in each EU-27 countries, population percentage who has all natural teeth (%) in each EU-27 countries, (iii) prevalence of dental checkups (%) in each EU-27 countries and (iv) frequency teeth pain in each EU-27 countries. Results: The highest proportion of often teeth pain (9.0%) was in Romania. Positive association between often sweet consumption of drink (food) and often teeth pain was found. Negative association between often sweet consumption of drink (food) and inhabitants' percentage who have all natural teeth was found. Negative association between often sweet consumption of drink (food) and prevalence of dental checkups was observed. Conclusion: Our results about the impact sweet consumption of drink (food) on oral health are applicable in oral health programs. It is necessary to include more world countries (more European citizens) into linear regression model of oral health.

“…12 Obesity and dental caries in children have multifactor etiology, and their development involves important socialbehavioral components. Nevertheless, the volume, frequency and quality of the foods ingested are the most important factors in obesity, 71 while the frequency and quality of eating practices have a seemingly greater impact on dental caries than the systemic effect of nutrient intake. 72 In the literature, there have been other attempts to explain the lower prevalence of dental caries in obese individuals.…”

This review aimed to assess the association between overweight/obesity and dental caries in Brazilian children/adolescents. Searches were performed in the Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, PubMed, Embase and SciELO, Lilacs and Open Grey literature databases up to June 2022. The Joanna Briggs Institute checklist for analytical cross-sectional studies, the checklist for cohort studies, and the checklist for case-control studies were used. A total of 41 publications were included, and 15 meta-analyses were performed. The authors analyzed the differences in weighted mean difference (MD) and odds ratios (OR), and their corresponding confidence intervals (CI) (95%) for dental caries among eutrophic and obese and/or overweight children/adolescents. Meta-analyses showed that there was no association between overweight and/or obesity and dental caries in Brazilian children/adolescents for most anthropometric reference curves using BMI (Body Mass Index). A greater experience of dental caries was associated with well-nourished adolescents in permanent dentition, compared with obese individuals in the same dentition, as classified by the CDC 2000 curve (OR = 2.53, 95% CI;1.49-4.29; p = 0.0006; I 2 = 0%) in dichotomous outcome studies, and (MD = 0.61, 95%CI: 0.08-1.15; p = 0.02; I 2 = 0%) in continuous studies. The strength of the evidence of the results was classified as very low, low or moderate. It was concluded that there is no association between overweight and/or obesity and dental caries in Brazilian children/adolescents for most anthropometric reference curves using BMI. A greater experience of dental caries was associated with well-nourished adolescents in permanent dentition, compared with obese individuals in the same dentition, as classified by the CDC 2000 curve.
