Journal ArticleDOI
Mutans Streptococci Dose Response to Xylitol Chewing Gum
Peter Milgrom,Kiet A. Ly,Marilyn C. Roberts,Marilynn Rothen,Gregory M. Mueller,David K. Yamaguchi +5 more
TL;DR: Xylitol is promoted in caries-preventive strategies, yet its effective dose range is unclear, and a plateau effect is suggested between 6.44 g and 10.32 g xylitol/day.
Journal Article
Xylitol, sweeteners, and dental caries.
TL;DR: Clinicians and dental associations should push for clear recommendations of efficacious dose and frequency of xylitol use and for clear labeling ofxylitol content in products to help consumers choose appropriately.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Potential of Dental-Protective Chewing Gum in Oral Health Interventions
TL;DR: The use of chewing gum containing dental-protective substances, particularly xylitol, in caries-prevention programs can reduce the tooth decay epidemic and chewing gum use by young schoolchildren in the school setting is hindered by choking hazard concerns and lack of specificxylitol dosing recommendations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prevalence of dentin hypersensitivity in general dental practices in the northwest United States
Joana Cunha-Cruz,John C. Wataha,Lisa J. Heaton,Marilynn Rothen,Martin Sobieraj,JoAnna M. Scott,Joel Berg +6 more
TL;DR: Given dentin hypersensitivity's prevalence, clinicians should diagnose it only after investigating all other possible sources of pain, and patients with hypersensitivity were more likely to be younger, to be female and to have a high prevalence of gingival recession and at-home tooth whitening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salivary characteristics and dental caries: evidence from general dental practices.
Joana Cunha-Cruz,JoAnna M. Scott,Marilynn Rothen,Lloyd Mancl,Timothy Lawhorn,Kenneth Brossel,Joel Berg +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the salivary characteristics are associated with recent dental caries experience, and saliva is one of the intraoral host factors that influence caries development, and the authors conducted a study to investigate whether saliverary characteristics were associated with the occurrence of caries.
