Previous in situ and in vitro studies have demonstrated that the chewing of sucrose-free gum after eating reduces the developments of dental caries. To investigate the extrapolation of these findings to the clinical setting, we conducted a two-year study on 547 schoolchildren in Budapest, Hungary. Subjects in the "Gum" group were instructed to chew one stick of a commercially available sorbitol-sweetened chewing gum for 20 minutes after meals, three times daily. the "Control" group was not provide with chewing gum. After two years, the "Gum" group exhibited a 38.7% reduction in incremental caries, excluding white spots, compared with the "Control " group. Including white spots, a corresponding 33.1% reduction was indicated. These results clearly6 suggest that even in a moderate caries population practicing normal oral hygiene, including the use of fluoride dentifrices, an after meal gum chewing regimen can significantly reduce the rate of caries development Subject Added Entry - Topical Term SUCROSE   CHEWING GUM, CARIES, CLINICAL TRIAL   SUCROSE           Physical Location           Digital Copy Not Available          Add to Book Cart  |   Download MARC
