Evidence based Compendium Dental chewing gum

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.
