Resumen
La desmineralización y remineralización dental es un ciclo constante que se da de manera natural en el medio bucal. Existen factores que pueden causar que la desmineralización de la superficie del diente persista; causando lesiones en el esmalte dental que en una etapa temprana pueden ser reversibles. Actualmente existen sustancias capaces de revertir este daño o de mantener un medio bucal con un pH adecuado para evitar que las bacterias se desarrollen y metabolicen ácidos. Algunas de estas sustancias pueden tener efectos nocivos para las personas. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica con el objetivo de conocer el efecto de la teobromina sobre la superficie del esmalte dental desmineralizado. Esta sustancia que se la encuentra en el cacao tiene propiedades positivas en la superficie del esmalte dental lesionado y le brinda un gran aporte de iones de calcio y sin ningún tipo de efectos negativos en comparación al flúor. También se ha demostrado que esta sustancia tiene un efecto inhibitorio sobre el estreptococo mutans, principal microorganismo presente en la caries dental.
Demineralization and dental remineralization is a constant cycle that occurs naturally in the oral environment. There are factors that can cause the demineralization of the tooth surface lingers; thus causing lesions in the tooth enamel that can be reversible at an early stage. Currently there are substances capable of reversing this damage or maintaining an oral environment with an adequate pH to prevent bacteria from developing and metabolizing acids. Some of these substances can have harmful effects on people. A literature review was carried out in order to know the effect of theobromine on the surface of demineralized dental enamel. This substance that is found in cocoa has positive properties on the surface of damaged dental enamel and provides a great contribution of calcium ions without negative effects compared to fluoride. It has also been shown that this substance has an inhibitory effect on streptococcus mutans, the main microorganism present in dental caries.
