1 Evidence based Compendium Dental chewing gum

2 Evidence based Compendium Rationale The use of sugar-free dental chewing gum increases salivation and thus enhances the anti-cariogenic effect of saliva flow. Regular chewing provides a mechanical cleaning effect, especially for the occlusal surface. Both effects are seen as aids to regaining mineral loss on tooth surfaces and thus reduce caries experience.

3 Evidence based Compendium Review objective To appraise the use of dental chewing gum in reducing caries experience.

4 Evidence based Compendium Search keywords

5 Evidence based Compendium Reviewed articles

6 Evidence based Compendium Place of origin of accepted trials

7 Evidence based Compendium

8 There is good evidence that supports the use of sugarless dental chewing gum, containing Xylitol or Sorbitol, for caries reduction, particularly on the occlusal tooth surface.

9 Evidence based Compendium Clinical implication Dental chewing gum can be used as part of a caries preventative regimen.
