Abstract
The importance of sugars as a cause of dental caries is underemphasized and not prominent in preventive strategies. Quantitative analysis shows a log-linear doseresponse relationship between sucrose or its monosaccharide intakes and the progressive lifelong development of caries. This results in a substantial dental health burden throughout life. Processed starches have cariogenic potential when accompanying sucrose. Dental diseases impair quality of life and hurt self-esteem, eating ability and health, causing pain, anxiety, and impaired social functioning. So, it was also thought that diet could be controlled or modified, to exert an anti-caries effect. Several experiments, studies and research have been carried out to assess the effect of diet on dental caries.
