Mutans streptococci dose response to xylitol chewing gum.
Xylitol is promoted in caries-preventive strategies, yet its effective dose range is unclear. This study determined the dose-response of mutans streptococci in plaque and unstimulated saliva to xylitol gum. Participants (n = 132) were randomized: controls (G1) (sorbitol/maltitol), or combinations giving xylitol 3.44 g/day (G2), 6.88 g/day (G3), or 10.32 g/day (G4). Groups chewed 3 pellets/4 tim...
متن کاملEffect of Xylitol Chewing Gum on Salivary Mutans Streptococci
In the attempt to lower the sugar consumption in population is to exchange the number of sugar sweeteners which manufacture produced for used in foods, drinks and candy with non-sugar sweetener as xylitol. Xylitol is effective as noncariogenic substitutes for use in place of glucose. Objectives: A clinical trial was carried out to investigate the effect of sugar candy containing xylitol inhibit...
متن کاملXylitol carryover effects on salivary mutans streptococci after 13 months of chewing xylitol gum.
To assess mutans streptococci (MS) during xylitol gum chewing (mean 3.8 g/day, 2.9 times/day) for 13 months and then for 15 months after the intervention, Japanese mothers with high salivary MS were randomized into two groups: xylitol gum (n = 56) and no gum (n = 51). The proportion of low MS levels was highest at 3 months of consumption (48.8%), but was significantly lower compared to baseline...
متن کاملDental plaque formation and salivary mutans streptococci in schoolchildren after use of xylitol-containing chewing gum.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a fixed daily dose of xylitol on mutans streptococci in saliva and the amount of visible dental plaque. A second aim was to explore if the possible effects differed between children with and without caries experience. METHODS The study was designed as a double-blind randomized controlled trial with two parallel arms. All pupils ...
متن کاملLinear response of mutans streptococci to increasing frequency of xylitol chewing gum use: a randomized controlled trial [ISRCTN43479664]
BACKGROUND Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar substitute that has been shown to reduce the level of mutans streptococci in plaque and saliva and to reduce tooth decay. It has been suggested that the degree of reduction is dependent on both the amount and the frequency of xylitol consumption. For xylitol to be successfully and cost-effectively used in public health prevention strategies dosi...
