D ental caries is a significant public health problem for a large proportion, of the Saudi population, especially the child segment. Preventive strategies tend to focus on dietary modification and the use of fluoride and pit and fissure sealants to increase the host resistance. Mutans streptococci (MS) in particular Streptococcus mutans is a major causative bacteria that are involved in dental ...

Not only is having a dry mouth uncomfortable, but it also contributes to tooth decay and to cavities because people with dry mouth do not produce enough saliva, which has bacterial properties. Chewing xylitol gum is a convenient and unobtrusive way of addressing both of these issues. Xylitol gum simulates saliva production, which helps relieve symptoms in more minor cases of dry mouth. In addit...

ABSTRACT: In the present study, Persian gum, an exudate gum which secrets from the mountain almond tree (Amygdalus scoparia Spach) from two different regions is evaluated by means of chemical and instrumental analysis (fractionated by solving in water and alkaline solutions at 0.1, 0.5 and 1 M and also Smith degradation) using HPLC, 1H–NMR and 13C–NMR spectroscopy’s. The total sugar and uronic ...

Flow of sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L. cv. Montmorency) gum solutions through a glass capillary was Newtonian for pressure gradients from 0 to 1.8 megapascals per meter, and hydraulic conductance was inversely proportional to solution viscosity in this range. However, flow became plastic at pressure gradients above 1.8 megapascals per meter, resulting in a decrease in solution viscosity. The ma...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of commercial lipase in various forms on the acceleration of the ripening of uf-feta cheese. commercial lipase from aspergillus niger was encapsulated by using silica composition based on sol-gel method. lipase was then added to cheeses in three forms, namely, free lipase, encapsulated lipase, and encapsulated lipase with arabi...

Masticatory function affects energy expenditure, heart rate, working memory, choice reaction time and psychological arousal. In other words, masticatory function is closely related to cognitive process ability. And it also influences concentration enhancement and stress alleviation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an masticatory exercise training using a gum can improve cogni...

Masticatory function affects energy expenditure, heart rate, working memory, choice reaction time, and psychological arousal. In other words, masticatory function is closely related to cognitive processing ability. It also influences concentration and stress. The purpose of this study was to determine whether masticatory exercise training using chewing gum can improve cognitive function and str...
