Abstract(s)
Perante um entusiasmo cada vez maior pela nutrição e um estilo de vida mais
saudável, algumas dietas estão a fazer grandes transformações. O vegetarianismo e o
veganismo tornaram-se cada vez mais populares nos últimos anos. Como resultado, os
hábitos alimentares ocidentais estão gradualmente a ser abandonados a favor de uma dieta mais vegetal. Perante isto, parece importante ver as consequências que pode causar, bem como a sua intensidade, natureza e grau. Uma vez que estas dietas são conhecidas por terem um efeito óbvio na saúde geral, é questionável se o mesmo se aplica à cavidade oral. Este último quanto às consequências nos tecidos oro-faciais, na composição salivar, bem como nos dentes. Concentrámo-nos nos impactos que poderiam alertar o dentista, tentando torná-lo mais consciente destas novas dietas e, assim, fornecer conselhos adequados aos pacientes que seguem uma dieta vegetariana ou vegan.
Faced with an ever-growing craze for nutrition and a healthier lifestyle, some diets are making great comebacks. Vegetarianism and veganism have become increasingly popular in recent years. As a result, Western eating habits are gradually being abandoned and towards a more vegetal diet. In the face of this, it seems important to see the consequences it could cause as well as its intensity, nature and degree. Since these diets are known to have an obvious effect on overall health, it is questionable whether the same is true for the oral cavity. The latter results in the consequences on oro-facial tissues, salivary composition, as well as on teeth. We focused on the impacts that could alert the dentist, trying to make him more aware of these new diets and thus to provide appropriate advice to patients following a vegetarian or vegan diet.
