Weight-loss surgery may increase risk of tooth decay: study

“People who have undergone surgical treatment for obesity may also experience a variety of oral symptoms and an impact on their oral quality of life,” said Negin Taghat, a doctoral student at the Sahlgrenska Academy Institute of Dentistry. the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.

“We saw that almost half of people were experiencing worse oral health,” Taghat added.

The team followed a group of 118 obese people. They found a pattern in which a higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with a higher risk of cavities on an increasing scale. At higher BMI values, there was a double risk of cavities and less regular dental care.

Two years after medical or surgical treatment, a clear division emerged between the groups.

Those who underwent surgery went from an average of 15.0 caries lesions on the surface of the tooth enamel to 19.1. However, within the group that received medical treatment, enamel lesions had decreased.

Another example relates to deeper carious lesions in the dentin, with an average pre-treatment baseline value of 4.3 lesions.

Two years after treatment, individuals in the surgery group had an average of 6.4 such injuries, while those in the medical treatment group had 4.9.

Symptoms may include hypersensitive teeth and difficulty chewing. The situation as a whole can also cause social unrest.

“Healthcare professionals and dentists encounter these patient groups in their daily work. It is extremely important that staff are aware that oral health can be affected by both obesity and obesity treatment, so so that preventive measures can be planned,” Taghat said.
