DUQUE DE ESTRADA RIVERON, Johany; PEREZ QUINONEZ, José Alberto e HIDALGO-GATO FUENTES3, Iliana. Dental caries and oral ecology, important aspects to be considered: Bibliographic review. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2006, vol.43, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-297X.
Dental caries are nowadays the most frequent disease among human beigns. There are some elements of oral ecology that may favor their development. A bibliographic review is made aimed at going deep into the theoretical knowledge of the characteristics of the adamantine tissue, the specific aspects of Streptococcus mutans, the role of saliva in the oral environment, and the influence of the ingestion of carbohydrates that may predispose the appareance of dental caries. It is concluded that the enamel resistance should be increased and that the initial adhesion of Streptococcus mutans should be impeded to prevent this disease. Saliva should be considered as a system and we should promote the family nutritional and hygiene education.
