Abstract

Introduction: Caries is a multifactorial, non-communicable, sacro-dependent and dynamic disease, in addition to biological factors, behavioral, psychosocial and environmental aspects are part of its etiology. Objective: To evaluate the influence of a diet rich in carbohydrates for the process of formation of dental caries. Methodology: Through a literature review referring to PubMed, SCielo and Google Scholar journals, the keywords used were “Dental caries”, “Dietary carbohydrates”, “Biofilm”, present in the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS). Results: According to In the analyzed literature, the authors converge in the sense that the food rich in disaccharide, sucrose, is decisive in the cariogenic process, in addition, it is inferred that the correct hygiene dismantles the biofilm and attenuates the formation of this pathology. Conclusion: Caries is a sucrose-dependent disease, but it can be eradicated with guidance to patients on diet care and proper oral hygiene.
