Abstract

SUMMARY Objective: The present research had the objective of evaluating the prevalence of caries in hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic. Materials and Methods: An experiment was carried out with 36 rats (Rattus norvegicus, albinus Wistar), of both sexes, distributed in three groups: a) hypoglycemic diet with fluoridate water (1ppm); b) hyperglycemic diet plus fluoridate water (1ppm) and c) balanced diet plus fluoridate water (1ppm). Results: In the animal’s molar teeth was found the prevalence level and penetration depth of caries lesions, caused by the diets. Different effects were experience on the diets, which showed greater level of prevalence of caries in the following sequence: hyperglycemic > balanced > hypoglycemic. Conclusion: The results indicate that sucrose decrease on the diet was important to reduce the caries disease. DESCRIPTORS Feeding. Dental Caries. Fluoride.
