Abstract in brief

  • The study examined the effects of chewing xylitol gum on salivary mutans streptococci (MS), bacteria associated with tooth decay, over a 13-month period and afterwards for 15 months, comparing groups who chewed xylitol gum to those who did not.
  • Results showed that the proportion of individuals with low MS levels was highest at 3 months of gum chewing, but this reduction was only statistically significant during the intervention period and did not persist after stopping gum use.
  • About 23% of participants in the xylitol group continued to show reduced MS levels even after ceasing gum chewing, indicating a possible carryover or lasting benefit from xylitol exposure.]
