许多研究表明，女性患龋齿的比例高于男性。这篇综述试图通过检查导致龋齿的每个因素以及这些因素在男性和女性中的差异来解释这一趋势。已有证据表明，妇女患龋齿的风险因素包括不同的唾液成分和流速、激素波动、饮食习惯、遗传变异以及她们在家庭中的特殊社会角色。与龋齿有关的全身性疾病也被发现与女性有关。长期暴露于口腔或更容易导致龋齿的口腔微生物群并没有被证明会导致女性龋齿的增加。这些领域的进一步研究可以在未来进行，以解释它们对女性更高的龋齿率的贡献或缺乏。
Many studies have demonstrated that caries rates are higher in women than in men. This review attempts to provide an explanation for this trend by examining each factor which contributes to caries and how the factor differs in men and women. Evidence has been provided to demonstrate that caries risk factors for women include a different salivary composition and flow rate, hormonal fluctuations, dietary habits, genetic variations, and particular social roles among their family. Systemic diseases that have been found to be associated with caries have also been found to have an association with the female gender. An extended exposure to the oral cavity or a more cariogenic oral microflora has not been proven to contribute to higher caries in women. Further research in these areas could be done in the future to explain their contribution, or lack thereof, to a higher caries rate in women.
