Guest guest Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hi guys, not sure of the relevance for our exams, but did you know this? http://www.aapd.org/media/Policies_Guidelines/G_XylitolUse.pdf Basically, I was doing a research into Retardex ( a friend is using and asked me to look into it) but couldn't find scientific evidence or articles.(can anybody help?) Then I came across someone saying Chlorhexedine is terrible (an American dentist) and that she recommended xylitol fighting decay. And not just the chewing gum(which I knew about), the hero, apparently is the Xylitol itself! If that is so, why aren't all kids sipping in xylitol water instead of fruit juices? I am very interested in prevention, always have been,and found it fascinating! Anybody else got any clinical anecdotal or scientifical evidence? Does anybody know if this is mentioned or considered in any community preventive policy in the UK? Regards Ana D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 its based on a study turku study which shows that when xylitol is replaced in place of normal sugars, the decay incidence decreased.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Dental care – sugar substitutes are tooth-friendly, as they are not fermented by the microflora of the dental plaque. An example of a sweetener that can benefit dental health isxylitol. Xylitol works to prevent bacteria from adhering to the tooth surface, thus preventing plaque formation and eventually decay. The carbohydrates and sugars consumed usually adheres to the tooth enamel. Bacteria can feed upon this food source allowing them to quickly multiply. As the bacteria feed upon the sugar, they convert it to acid waste that in turn decays the tooth structure. Xylitol cannot be fermented by these bacteria, so the bacteria have difficulty thriving, thus helping to prevent plaque formation.[4] From: Aqsa Fatima Burki <aqsaburki@...> " " < > Sent: Friday, 23 March 2012 7:55 PM Subject: Re: Xylitol it has no mechanism of action, i feel its a low sugar replacement which causes decrease in caries plus the fact that chewing gums cause more salivation.not sure, if you find out let us know From: "rite.to.divs@..." <rite.to.divs@...> Sent: Friday, 23 March 2012, 19:52 Subject: Re: Xylitol Yes ..
