“…In this study, the solution with the highest concentration of sugar (E) was the one preferred by the majority of the volunteers, irrespective of gender, a result differing from the findings of Honkala et al 17 and Nilsson & Holm 18 . The taste pattern of preference for sweeter solutions, and consequently, higher sugar consumption has been related in the literature to higher levels of caries 10,19 . However, in this study, this association could not be observed.…”

ObjectiveTo assess the relationship between caries prevalence and sugar preference in schoolchildren. Methods The sample has consisted of 96 schoolchildren of both genders and age ranging from 5 to 12, enrolled at the Maria Aparecida de Jesus Segura in which the sugar concentration varied from 0 to 40g/liter. The association between the variables, DMFT and dmft was dichotomized into DMFT=0 and DMFT≥1; dmft=0 e dmft ≥1 and the sugar preference as low (A, B, C, D) and high (E). Results There was no significant association between the genders as regards preference for sugar in the solutions (Fisher Exact Test, p= 0.2150), and as regards the DMFT (Chi-Square Test, p=0.2789). In both caries history situations, the majority of the children preferred a high sugar concentration (Chi-Square Test, p=0.2463). ConclusionThere were no association between history of caries and preference of sugar. There no was association between gender and preference for sugar.Indexing terms: Dental caries. Epidemiology. Food preferences. Sucrose. RESUMO ObjetivoAvaliar a relação entre prevalência de cárie e preferência por açúcar em escolares. MétodosA amostra foi de 96 escolares, de ambos os gêneros e faixa etária de 5 a 12 anos de idade, matriculados na Escola Municipal Maria Aparecida de Jesus Segura do assentamento rural II de Sumaré, São Paulo. Os critérios de inclusão foram escolares matriculados com autorização para a pesquisa do responsável, cooperativos e que não apresentavam aparelho ortodôntico fixo, dificuldade de abertura bucal ou não restrição ao consumo de açúcar. A história de cárie foi realizada por examinadores calibrados (Kappa= 0,85) segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde. A preferência por açúcar foi verificada pelo teste Sweet Preference Inventory modificado. Cada escolar provou 5 soluções de suco de uva, cuja concentração de açúcar variou de 0 a 40g/litro. A associação entre as variáveis, os índices CPOD e ceod foram dicotomizados em CPO=0 e CPO≥1; ceod=0 e ceod ≥1 e a preferência por açúcar em baixa (A, B, C, D) e alta (E). ResultadosNão houve associação significante entre os gêneros em relação à preferência por açúcar nas soluções de suco (Teste Exato de Fischer, p= 0,2150), e em relação ao CPO-D (teste Qui-quadrado, p=0,2789). Para ambas as situações de história de cárie, a preferência da maioria das crianças foi por alta concentração de açúcar (teste Qui-quadrado, p=0,2463). ConclusãoNão foi verificada a associação entre a história de cárie e preferência por açúcar. Não houve associação entre gênero e a preferência por açúcar.Termos de indexação: Cárie dentária.

“…McMahon et al (1993) compared New Zealand pre-school children with and without caries, ®nding that there were no differences in dietary intakes or frequency of eating between the two groups. In a study of Italian teenagers (Petti et al, 1997), good oral hygiene was three times more likely to predict a low caries prevalence than a`low cariogenic' diet. These studies suggest that diet is much less in¯uential when oral hygiene is suf®cient.…”

Objectives: There is incongruity between the sugar consumption guidelines set in different European countries. A number have adopted maximum limits ranging from 10 ± 25% energy, while others have no quantitative recommendations at all. This raises the question whether or not there should be a common European guideline for sugar consumption. Design: This paper examines if such a goal for sugar is merited and reviews the published literature on associations between sugar consumption and dental caries, obesity and micronutrient dilution. Results: Evidence showed that higher intakes of sugar were related to leanness, not obesity, and had no detrimental effects on micronutrient intakes in most people. In the case of dental caries, there was a relationship between frequency of sugar intake and the incidence of decay. However, in populations where¯uoride use was adequate, associations between sugar intake and caries rarely reached statistical signi®cance. Conclusions: The available evidence does not justify a common quantitative recommendation for sugar. It is suggested that dental caries merits a more integrated public health approach where advice on the frequency of foods containing fermentable-carbohydrates is placed in context alongside oral hygiene.

“…Caries can be reduced by mechanical removal of plaque from tooth surfaces; however, most children do not remove it effectively which means the deficiency of maintenance of good oral hygiene. Several studies have shown that, in countries where proper oral hygiene is followed, caries prevalence has decreased despite increases in sugar consumption, thus marking the importance of oral hygiene in caries etiology [11, 12]. …”

Aim. To correlate the prevalence of dental caries to body mass index, daily sugar intake, and oral hygiene status of 12-year-old school children of Mathura city. Material and Methods. The study design was cross-sectional and included 100 school children aged 12 years (n = 50 boys and n = 50 girls) who were randomly selected from two schools based upon inclusion and exclusion criteria. Body weight/height was recorded and BMI was calculated and plotted on CDC-BMI for age growth charts/curves for boys and girls to obtain percentile ranking. Dental caries was recorded using WHO criteria. Oral hygiene status of the study subjects was assessed using oral hygiene index-simplified. Data regarding the daily sugar intake was recorded using 24-hour recall diet frequency chart. The data obtained was analysed using SPSS version 11.5 for windows. Result. Only 27 subjects were affected by caries. The mean DMFT/dmft was 0.37 ± 0.79 and 0.12 ± 0.60, respectively. Statistical analysis by means of a logistic regression model revealed that only oral hygiene status had a significant effect on caries prevalence (OR = 5.061, P = 0.004), whereas daily sugar intake and body mass index had no significant effect. Conclusion. From the analysis, it was concluded that oral hygiene status had a significant effect on caries prevalence of 12-year-old school children of Mathura city.
