The objective of this research was to determine the cariogenic potential of the diet consumed by students of the Dental School of the University Wiener. The sample consisted of all first-cycle students who met the inclusion criteria, totaling 97 students, who were interviewed using a validated instrument. The results were processed using the SPSS version 19 statistical program, employing descriptive statistics and Chi-square statistical tests. The results showed that 41.3% of the population consumed a diet with low cariogenic potential, 58.7% consumed a diet with moderate cariogenic potential, and no cases of students consuming a diet with high cariogenic potential were found. No statistically significant relationship was found between variables such as age, gender, or occupation. Other factors related to the university life environment were considered in this result, and it is recommended that future research delve into these factors. The study concluded that the majority of students consume a diet with moderate cariogenic potential.

Dental caries is the most prevalent oral disease worldwide. One of the etiological factors of this disease is fermentable carbohydrates (sugars), as well as other modulating factors such as socioeconomic status. Objective: To evaluate the association between socioeconomic status and cariogenic potential in the diet of children aged 3 to 6 years in 02 districts of Metropolitan Lima during the COVID-19 quarantine period. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, relational, and prospective study was conducted with a convenience sample of 120 children, where the caregivers recorded a food diary for their child (frequency and time of food consumption at home) over 3 days of the week (2 weekdays and 1 weekend day), along with data related to the family's socioeconomic status. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the relationships between categorical variables, adopting a significance level of 5%. Results: The results showed that the low, medium, and high cariogenic potential of the participants was 5.8%, 48.3%, and 45.8%, respectively. The cariogenic potential was significantly associated with socioeconomic status (p=0.009). Children from socioeconomic level D had 3.5 times higher consumption of foods with high cariogenic potential compared to children from socioeconomic level C. [OR (95% CI)] [3.51(1.36-9.02)]. Conclusions: The consumption of potentially cariogenic foods in children during the COVID-19 quarantine period is influenced by family socioeconomic status.
