Calcium, Phosphate, Fluoride, Magnesium

21
Q

Examples of non-mineralizing minerals

A

Iron, Zinc, Copper

22
Q

Examples of Fat-soluble Vitamins

A

Vit A, Vit D, Vit E, Vit K

23
Q

Implications of Vit A deficiency

A

Impaired healing, taste disturbances, desquamation of oral mucosa, xerostomia

24

A

Enamel defects in rats

25
Q

Implications of Vit K deficiency

A

Bleeding

26
Q

Examples of water-soluble vitamins

A

Thiamin (Vit B1)
Vitamin C

27
Q

What are the Safety Issues with Dietary Supplements

A

Vitamins A and D have a very small range of safety

Mineral supplements have a narrower range of safety than vitamins

Herbal supplements have interactions with other medications but no regulation

28
Q

Effects of folic acid antagonist on dental development

A

Children with clefts.

Folic acid prevents neural tube defects which are embryologically related to clefts

29
Q

Effect of Vitamin A excess

A

Incidence of clefts and maxillary bone development

Inconclusive on oral clefts

30
Q

Which nutrients affect quantity of alveolar bone and bone density?

A

Calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, magnesium

31
Q

Which nutrient is associated with bone density and soft tissue integrity via collagen formation?

A

Vitamin C

32
Q

What aids proper growth of mandible and maxilla and tooth eruption?

A

Diet consistency and texture: Firm diet

33
Q

What is associated with reduced mandible size and teeth crowding ?

A

Malnutrition (animals)

34
Q

Dental anomalies associated with malnutrition (animals) ?

A

Wide pulp chambers, open apices due to decreased osteogenic and osteoclastic activity

Bone is not as radiopaque

35
Q

What is associated with delayed tooth development and eruption, enamel hypoplasia, enamel hypomaturation?

A

Malnutrition in humans

36
Q

What does protein deficiency cause?

A

Affect tooth size and eruption sequence

Affect salivary gland formation and function -> affects salivary flow rate

37
Q

What nutrients will affect pre-eruptive tooth development?

A
  1. Calcium, phosphate
  2. Fluorides
  3. Vitamin D
38
Q

What nutrients will affect post-eruptive tooth development?

A
  1. Sugars
  2. Acids
  3. Nutrition

Q

What foods are protective against caries?

A

Proteins, cheeses, fats, fiber, sugar alcohols

41
Q

What foods are most cariogenic?

A
  1. Simple sugars vs complex sugars
  2. Processed vs raw
42
Q

Dietary habits that affect caries risk

A
  1. Frequency of eating
  2. Food combinations: Combining fats and proteins decrease caries potential
42
Q

Oral factors that affect caries risk

A
  1. Salivary flow
  2. Physical properties of food: Retentiveness, consistency, texture
43
Q

Comparison between different substrates in causing smooth-surface caries? (Bowen WH et al 2005)

A

Cola> Sucrose > Human milk> Cow milk

44
Q

Relation between breastfeeding and ECC

A

Branger et al 2019: Breastfeeding until the age of 1 year is not associated with an increased risk of dental caries

45
Q

Nutrition in Children with Special Health Care Needs

A

Pre-eruptive impact of oral and dental structures: Hypoplastic enamel

Diet
- Decreased appetite and increased nutritional risk
- Long term use of cariogenic medications

Poor OH

Medical therapies: Loss of appetite, taste changes, nausea, vomiting, psychosocial, eating difficulties, pain from oral lesions
