Resumo: Dental caries is a multifactorial disease, which depends on the fermentation of carbohydrates by microorganisms of the dental biofilm. Xylitol is a sugar-alcohol, which cannot be fermented by oral cariogenic bacteria. This article aimed to review the literature on the use of xylitol for prevention of dental caries. There is little conclusive scientific evidence about this subject, although several studies have been performed. The development of products and clinical protocols should be based on studies with sound experimental design, which will permit the understanding of clinical and laboratorial parameters, such as mecanisms of action, vehicles of delivery, dose-response effects, and frequency of use of the polyol. Clarification of the potential and limitations of the use of xylitol for prevention of dental caries would help clinicians to select preventive protocols more efficient and cost-effective for specific groups.

O xilitol é um açúcar-álcool que não pode ser fermentado por bactérias orais cariogênicas. Esta revisão da literatura teve por objetivo propiciar o maior entendimento sobre o uso do xilitol na prevenção da cárie dentária. Apesar de inúmeros trabalhos realizados na área, poucas são as evidências científicas sobre o tema. O desenvolvimento de produtos e protocolos capazes de tornar o xilitol mais eficiente e eficaz contra a cárie dentária só será possível através da realização de estudos mais bem delineados, pautados no entendimento de parâmetros clínicos e laboratoriais, como mecanismos de ação, veículo de administração, efeito dose-resposta e frequência de uso. O esclarecimento do potencial e das limitações de uso do xilitol para prevenção de cárie dentária auxiliaria o cirurgião dentista na seleção de protocolos preventivos mais eficientes e com melhor custobenefício para grupos específicos.EDIPUCRS - Editora Universitária da PUCRS2009-03-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Article.
