The purpose of this work was to study the effect of chewing a sorbitol-sweetened gum on whole and parotid salivary flow rates, and on the cemental plaque pH response to a sucrose rinse challenge, in subjects with low salivary flow. The results show that chewing a flavored sugarless gum significantly increases salivary flow rates in individuals with dry mouth. Additionally, chewing the sorbitol-sweetened gum effectively prevents the fall in cemental plaque pH generally seen in response to a sucrose challenge. This indicates that chewing a sorbitol-sweetened gum provides a palliative and possibly a protective benefit for people who suffer from dry mouth.
这项研究的目的是，在唾液分泌量低的受试者中，研究咀嚼山梨醇甜味口香糖对全唾液和腮腺唾液流速的影响，以及对牙骨质菌斑pH值对蔗糖冲洗刺激反应的影响。结果表明，咀嚼有味道的无糖口香糖能显著增加口干个体的唾液流速。此外，咀嚼山梨醇甜味口香糖能有效防止牙骨质菌斑pH值因蔗糖刺激而普遍下降。这表明，咀嚼山梨醇甜味口香糖对口干患者具有缓解作用，可能还有保护作用。
