A review of the positive effects of chewing sugarfree gum on oral health
نویسنده
چکیده
The development of sugarfree gum provided the possibility of a noncariogenic alternative to sugared gum. Chewing sugarfree gum results in a rise in plaque pH, in contrast to the pH fall observed with sugared gum. This is due to the stimulation of the flow of saliva, with the resulting increase in level of bicarbonate and thus alkalinity. At the same time the plaque microflora do not produce significant amounts of acid.
