Resumen

Este resumen es generado por máquina.

El recubrimiento de la lengua (TC), una biopelícula oral común, alberga bacterias relacionadas con el mal aliento y la enfermedad de las encías. Mejorar la higiene de la lengua puede mejorar la salud bucal y reducir los riesgos de enfermedades sistémicas.

Área De La Ciencia

  • Biología oral y microbiología
  • Investigación sobre el microbioma
  • La odontología preventiva

Sus Antecedentes

  • El recubrimiento de la lengua (TC) es un biofilm complejo que se encuentra en la superficie de la lengua.
  • Comprende células epiteliales, restos de alimentos y una comunidad microbiana diversa.
  • El TC juega un papel en problemas de salud bucal como la halitosis y la enfermedad periodontal.

Objetivo Del Estudio

  • Revisar la etiología, composición e implicaciones para la salud del revestimiento de la lengua.
  • Explorar el vínculo entre la CT y las afecciones orales y sistémicas.
  • Evaluar las diversas intervenciones para la gestión de la TC.

Principales Métodos

  • Búsqueda exhaustiva de la literatura utilizando PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science y Medline.
  • Las palabras clave incluían "revestimiento de la lengua", "limpieza de la lengua" y "Halitosis y mal olor oral".
  • Revisión y síntesis sistemáticas de las investigaciones existentes sobre la TC.

Principales Resultados

  • El TC es un reservorio para bacterias patógenas, contribuyendo a la halitosis y la enfermedad periodontal.
  • Existen asociaciones entre TC y enfermedades sistémicas como neumonía por aspiración, enfermedades cardiovasculares y diabetes.
  • La translocación microbiana y la inflamación de bajo grado son mecanismos propuestos que vinculan la TC con la salud sistémica.

Conclusiones

  • La higiene de la lengua es esencial para mantener la salud bucal y prevenir el mal olor oral.
  • El tratamiento eficaz de la TC puede mitigar los riesgos asociados con las enfermedades sistémicas.
  • La integración de la limpieza de la lengua en el cuidado bucal de rutina mejora la salud general y la calidad de vida.

Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...
