Systemic diseases, per se, do not cause dental caries. Disturbances that may result in xerostomia, such as diabetes mellitus, certain infectious diseases, and radiation at the cervical or maxillary region, may result in lowered resistance to dental caries through a qualitative or quantitative change in the saliva. Nutritional disturbances of certain types appear to reduce the occurrence of caries, probably through nutritional effects on the bacteria.
