Résumé
"OBJECTIVE:Identifying, through a systematic literature review, evidence ofa possible association between obesity and dental caries.METHODS:A search of articles published between 2005 and January 2012 wasperformed in the Medline/PubMed, LILACS and Web of Science databases.The quality of scientific evidence of the selected articles was assessed by theitems proposed for observational studies in the Downs & Black instrument.RESULTS:Initially, 537 references were found; after checking the titles andabstracts by two independent researchers, twenty-eight articles were selectedfor complete reading. Ten of them that assessed the primary and/or permanentdentition observed a positive association between obesity and dental cariesand one study found an inverse association. According to the Downs & Blackclassification, thirteen articles with good scientific evidence were found.CONCLUSIONS:The present review did notfind sufficient evidence regardingthe association between obesity and dental caries, and it did not clarify thepossible role of diet and other possible effect modifiers on this association."
