Abstract
Objective: To measure the sweetness, viscosity, and cariogenic potential index of food to aid in the development of a dietary program for the prevention of dental caries and the improvement of oral health.
Methods: For this study, 272 foods favored by Korean children were chosen to estimate cariogenic potential index. This was accomplished by calculating the amount of sugar and viscosity of each food and then developing a computer program for di-etary control. Ninety nine children (61 boys and 38 girls) within primary schools in Gyeonggi province were randomly se-lected and joined the program voluntarily.
Results: There was a positive correlation among carbohydrates, cariogenic potentiality and the Snyder test (p＜0.01). Significant correlation between protein intake and fat intake was found (p＜0.01). The proportion of 3 main nutrients (carbohydrates, protein and fat) per day was set at the appropriate ratio established by the 2010 Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans (p＞0.05). Average sodium intake was 3,772.27±1,350.42 mg: 2.5 times higher than target intake, and 1.8 times higher than sufficient intake per day (p＞0.05).
Conclusion: Dietary analysis and recommendation of an adjunctive computer program was appraised as useful for dietary control for dental caries prevention for children in clinical practice.
