Abstract:
Recent evidence of the actions of chewing gum on plaque pH needs to be assessed against the background of other evidence, including clinical data. 'Sugar-free' gums are non-cariogenic and potentially beneficial in reversing early caries, while the potential cariogenicity of sucrose-sweetened gums can be modified by additives or selected patterns of use.
