Influência do estilo e qualidade de vida como fatores de risco das Doenças Não Cariosas: Revisão de escopo

Abstract

Non-carious diseases (NCDs) were initially described in 1991, with studies linking them to lesions caused by biomechanical stresses. Over time, the concept has expanded to include oral conditions related to lifestyle habits and quality of life. NCDs encompass non-carious lesions (NCLs), dentin hypersensitivity (DH), gingival recession (GR), fractures/cracks, and pulpal damage, making the identification of their risk factors essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment. This study is a scoping review in which articles discussing the influence of lifestyle on the progression of non-carious diseases were selected, considering the specific habits of individuals and/or groups and related risk factors. The search was conducted in the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science databases. The search resulted in 7,444 articles, of which 20 were deemed eligible. The studies reported modulatory factors of NCDs, such as gastroesophageal reflux, post-bariatric conditions, as well as habits like smoking and behavioral factors such as bruxism and anxiety. The results highlight the absence of a specific protocol for the analysis of NCDs, with significant variations in the methods used. The importance of considering patients' lifestyle and quality of life in the diagnosis and treatment of NCDs is also emphasized. It is concluded that there is a relationship between lifestyle and quality of life and the progression of non-carious diseases. However, more clinical studies associating other health areas are necessary to deepen the understanding of NCDs and the Early Oral Aging Syndrome (EOAS). Finally, a standardized analysis method complementary to anamnesis is proposed to aid in identifying factors associated with these diseases.
