Influence of Some Homeopathic Remedies as a Factor in the Risk Assessment System for the Development of Carious Processes /// Влияние на някои хомеопатични средства като фактор в системата за оценка на риска от развитие на кариозен процес

[EN] Homeopathic remedies, like conventional paediatric medication, contain sugars and acids. They also have specific rules for intake – multiple times during the day, between meals; they should be left for a while under the tongue and should not be taken alongside with fluoride toothpastes. All these factors are prerequisites for creating conditions for an increased risk for development of a carious process with more frequent intake. Their massive and constant use, accompanied with the lack of awareness of their connection with the higher risk of development of carious processes, is a potential risk for children's oral health. The role of homeopathic remedies as a possible risk factor is underestimated among medical specialists. In medical literature the role of homeopathic remedies as a factor in the risk assessment system for development of a carious process remains a topic which is insufficiently discussed. This motivated us to conduct our own scientific research and to assess the effect of this type of medications on dental structures, as well as their role as a risk factor in frequent use in childhood for the initiation and progression of carious processes. The development of specific preventive measures and the assessment of their efficiency is a part of our work. The frequent use of some homeopathic remedies in childhood could be included as an important additional factor in the risk assessment system of tooth decay.
