Abstract

Za razvoj mliječnih, ali i trajnih zuba koji počinje već za vrijeme intrauterinog ţivota kao i za njihovu mineralizaciju koja se nastavlja i nakon roĎenja, vrlo je bitna prehrana djeteta. Pod tim se misli na zadovoljavanje djetetovih potreba za hranjivim tvarima (bjelančevine, ugljikohidrati i masti), ali i za vitaminima i mineralima koji su potrebni za pravilan rast i razvoj. Da bi se to osiguralo, kao jedini preporučeni način prehrane u prvih 6 mjeseci je dojenje koje se kasnije nastavlja uz dohranu do druge godine ţivota. Osim potrebnih hranjivih tvari i minerala, majčino mlijeko je dobar izvor imunoglobulina i antitijela koji su ključni u zaštiti od infekcija. U njemu su takoĎer dokazane i bakterije koje spadaju u skupinu probiotika, ali i neprobavljivi ugljikohidrati koji im sluţe kao hrana odnosno prebiotici. Probiotici su ţivi mikroorganizmi koji u dovoljnim količinama imaju pozitivan učinak na zdravlje domaćina. Njihovo se djelovanje temelji na modificiranju bakterijskog sastava usne šupljine jer sprečavaju kolonizaciju bakterija koje uzrokuju nastanak karijesa i parodontne bolesti. TakoĎer uzrokuju bolju apsorpciju kalcija i bolju mineralizaciju kosti i tvrdih zubnih tkiva.

Abstract (english)

A child's diet is very important for the development of milk teeth, as well as permanent teeth, which starts as early as in intrauterine life, and also for their mineralisation which continues after birth. A diet is assumed as satisfying the child's needs for nutrients (proteins, carbohydrates and fats), but also for vitamines and minerals which are needed for a tnormal growth and development. In order to ensure that, breastfeeding is the only recommended diet in the first six months, which continues until the second year accompanied by intoducing food into a diet. Mother's milk is, apart from necessary nutrients and minerals, a good source of immunoglobulins and antibodies which are crucial in the protection from infections. It is also proved that it contains bacteria which belong to the group of probiotics, as well as indigestible carbohydrates which serve them as food, that is prebiotics. Probiotics are live microorganisms which in sufficient amounts have a positive effect on the health of the host. Their activity/function is based on modifying the bacterial composition of the oral cavity because they prevent the settlement of bacteria which cause the emergence of cavities and parodontal disease. They also cause better absorption of calcium and better mineralization of bones and hard dental tissues.
