Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The pH drop in dental plaque in situ after a mouthrinse with sorbitol was more pronounced after the adaptation period, especially in the group with the low salivary-secretion rate."5.28Sorbitol adaptation of dental plaque in people with low and normal salivary-secretion rates. ( Birkhed, D; Edwardsson, S; Kalfas, S; Svensäter, G, 1990)
"Our findings suggest that products containing mannitol, sorbitol and/or xylitol may contribute to the acidogenic potential of the dental plaque and especially in hyposalivated subjects with high numbers of lactobacilli."3.79Fermentation of sugars and sugar alcohols by plaque Lactobacillus strains. ( Almståhl, A; Carlén, A; Eliasson, L; Lingström, P, 2013)
"The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a sorbitol sweetened breath mint on salivary flow and plaque pH in subjects suffering from xerostomia."3.67Effect of sorbitol sweetened breath mints on salivary flow and plaque pH in xerostomic subjects. ( Abelson, DC; Barton, J; Mandel, ID, 1989)
"Reinforcing the buffering capacity of dental plaque by the addition of substances such as bicarbonate and phosphates may decrease their caries activity."2.73Buffering effect of a prophylactic gel on dental plaque in institutionalised elderly. ( Bergdahl, M; Claesson, R; Lingström, P; Persson, A; van Dijken, JW, 2007)
"The pH drop in dental plaque in situ after a mouthrinse with sorbitol was more pronounced after the adaptation period, especially in the group with the low salivary-secretion rate."1.28Sorbitol adaptation of dental plaque in people with low and normal salivary-secretion rates.
