Diet and Nutrition Flashcards
Total oral intake of a substance that provides nourishment .
Nizel (1989)
Diet
the science of food and its relationship to health.
WHO 1971
Nutrition
The science which deals with the study of nutrient and foods and their effects on the nature & function of organism under different condition of age, health & disease.
Nizel(1989)
Nutrition
defined as one which contains a variety of foods in such quantities and proportions that the need for energy, aminoacids, vitamins, minerals, fats,
carbohydrates
Balanced diet
increases a child’s susceptibility to dental caries in the
primary teeth.
Early malnutrition
65-80% of the major nutrients in a complete diet consist of components.
Carbohydrates
7-15% of the major nutrients in a complete diet consist of components.
Proteins
10-30% of the major nutrients in a complete diet consist of components.
Fats/Lipids
What are the micronutrients in a complete diet composed of?
-Vitamins
-Minerals
Stated that if a meal was finished with a salivary stimulant like apple, the
mouth would be kept free of fermentation both by physical cleansing effect of
fibrous food and also because of induced salivary flow.
Pickerill 1923
Stated that
accumulations of fermentable carbohydrate, were the cause of caries and that
such deposits could be removed by eating hard and fibrous foods
Wallance 1902
What are the causes of Increase Susceptibility?
-Fermentable Carbohydrates
-sugars
-sugar/ starch combination
what are the causes of Decrease Susceptibility?
-Proteins
-Fats
-Food with sugar alchohols
-Healthy snacks
A form of fermentable carbohydrate.
Sugars
This is part of Classification of Sugars that is no harm to teeth.
Intrinsic sugars & Milk sugars
This is part of classification of sugars that is harmful to teeth.
Extrinsic sugars & non-milk extrinsic sugars (NMES)
A study of Increase in carbohydrate –increases the caries.
Vipeholm study
A study that 53% were caries free 0.4%-13 years-had caries
Hopewood house study
A study showed that 1 year-sucrose and fructose had equal cariogenicity.
Turku sugar study
A study of sucrose solution developed a higher caries
Experimental caries study
concentrated sources of energy. They are solids at 20 degree C and oils at room temperature.
Fats
Increases white blood cell (WBC) activity - progression of
periodontal disease in adults
Hyperlipidemia
Its help the body building, repair and maintain the body tissues
Protein
Explain the Pathogenesis of DC
- Enamel Pellicle + Bacteria= Plaque formation
- Plaque bacteria + fermentable Carbohydrate = Acid production
- Acid production will cause demineralisation of inorganic and dissolution of organic structures of teeth
- That will result to Dental Caries
