Objective: Caries prevention through the diet control can be achieved clinically by use of the computer program. This program analyzes the nutrient and cariogenic potentiality for a range of food commonly eaten by the average Korean adult.
Methods: Seventy volunteers between the age of 20 and 30 years participated in the clinical experiment. Participants were asked to record 5 consecutive days of dietary intake. Using the diet control program established by the cariogenic potentiality indices, we were able to determine an individual participants’ average nutritional intake over the course of five days (calory, basic nutrient, cariogenic potentiality, sodium intake for a day, individually, were revealed from the computer program). In addition to such average data, we also know whether excess or deficiency for each item. And the correlation between the intake of foods and the oral status for caries experience in subjects, were revealed.
Results: The average calory of the subjects was revealed as 2,082.52±657.87 kcal/day as included in the recommendation level for Korean adults. But the average intake of sodium was 4,618.02±1,384.65 mg/day, it was significantly higher than the recommended daily requirements (1,500-2,000 mg) in Korean adults. Basic nutrient amounts for carbohydrate, protein, fat were within the recommendation level, as well as the clean food. The average cariogenic potentiality index was estimated as 127.26±47.49 minutes.
Conclusion: Computer program for analysis of each nutrient using the cariogenic potentiality index was considered as useful tool for diet therapy in clinical preventive dentistry.
