Objective: to characterize the etiology of dental caries, citing agents with cariogenic potential, clarifying the involved mechanisms and actions to prevent their development. Methodology: A bibliographic review was carried out on the basis of data: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciElo), Google Scholar and PubMed. Articles, monographs, dissertations and thesis were selected, closed between 2005 and 2020, in Portuguese and English. The search was carried out through descriptors: medicines, drugs, physiopathology and dental caries. Duplicate and incomplete articles were excluded from research. Results: once the concept and etiology of dental caries has been clarified, knowledge about the cariogenic potential of drugs, drugs and drugs, and the involved, deepened mechanisms, evidencing broad actions, which depend on specific situations to reveal it caries of drugs, the consecuencia. Also note that the main prevention is through the transfer of information through a multidisciplinary team. Conclusion: It is suggested that the substances discussed here have cariogenic potential due to the presence of fermentable sugars in their composition, due to their adverse effect, xerostomy and even direct corrosive action on the teeth.
