Xylitol gum and maternal transmission of mutans streptococci.
An important caries prevention strategy for children includes measures to interfere with transmission of mutans streptococci (MS). This study confirmed the effectiveness of maternal early exposure to xylitol chewing gum on mother-child transmission of MS. After screening, 107 pregnant women with high salivary MS were randomized into two groups: xylitol gum (Xylitol; n = 56) and no gum (Control;...
متن کامل74 Xylitol , Mutans Streptococci , and Dental Plaque
The authors declare no conflict of interest. The caries-controlling or preventing effect of xylitol is more than just excluding fermentable sugars from the diet. This review aims to discuss the specific effects of xylitol which could have contributed to the results of the caries trials. Xylitol promotes mineralization by increasing the flow of saliva, an effect it has in common with all sweeten...
متن کاملMaternal transmission of mutans Streptococci in severe-early childhood caries.
PURPOSE This study utilized multiple genetic analyses to detect evidence of maternal MS acquisition in children with S-ECC. METHODS Twenty-seven mother/child pairs were selected from children with 5-ECC preceding dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia. Plaque samples were collected from the mother, child, and the child's carious lesion. Arbitrarily primed-polymerase chain reaction (AP...
متن کاملMutans streptococci: acquisition and transmission.
Dental caries is an infectious and transmissible disease. The mutans streptococci (MS) are infectious agents most strongly associated with dental caries. Earlier studies demonstrated that infants acquire MS from their mothers and only after the eruption of primary teeth. More recent studies indicate that MS can colonize the mouths of predentate infants and that horizontal as well as vertical tr...
متن کاملImpact of maternal xylitol consumption on mutans streptococci, plaque and caries levels in children.
AIM The present study was designed to determine whether maternal xylitol consumption through regular chewing of xylitol gums can affect the salivary mutans streptococci (MS), dental caries, and dental plaque levels of their children. METHOD Study sample included 60 mother and child pairs with high salivary mutans streptococcus (MS) levels. Samples were randomly divided into experimental group...
