Vol. 49 No. (2) 113-117 (2022): Oral Health of Vegetarians is a Neglected Aspect of Stomatological Research: A Reflection based on PubMed Evidence

The vegetarians form one-fifth of the global
population. The vegetarians are a peculiar group of
people; existing body of scientific evidence shows
that they are a highly vulnerable group of people
when it comes to oral diseases. The oral health of
vegetarians is a critical aspect of dentistry; however,
current evidence—based on PubMed database
search—shows a dearth of literature on this thematic
area. It appears this aspect is being neglected in the
field of stomatological research.
