contents Potential effects of prebiotic fibers on dental caries: a systematic review Constanza E. Fernández Catalina Maturana‐Valenzuela Nicol Rojas‐Castillo Bob Rosier Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture AbstractCertain dietary fibers exhibit prebiotic effects on gut microbiota, but their influence on oral health remains unclear. This study conducted a systematic review across four databases to examine the potential effects of dietary fibers on dental caries. Data selection and extraction were conducted independently and in duplicate. From 962 found titles, twenty studies were included, of which 13 were in vitro. The substances identified as prebiotics included fructo‐oligosaccharides (FOS), galacto‐oligosaccharides (GOS), inulin, pectin, raffinose, polydextrose, sialyllactose, and short‐chain fatty acids. Outcomes were assessed at biofilm (n = 14), saliva (n = 5), and tooth (n = 1) levels, with only six studies evaluating pH changes. Fifteen studies (75%) reported potential benefits, primarily attributed to the capacity of prebiotic fibers to limit the growth or adhesion of bacteria. Only two studies (10%) reported an increase in pH. Overall, the quality of the evidence was judged as moderate. In conclusion, certain dietary fibers may help limit caries development by modulating biofilm and pH levels. However, further clinical studies are needed to confirm the protective role of dietary fibers in dental caries. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry. 10.1002/jsfa.14113 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
