The effect on caries incidence of the daily consumption of chewing gum sweetened with sucrose or xylitol was measured in 100 subjects included in the 1-year chewing gum study (Scheinin et al. 1975, Turku sugar Studies XVIII). The subjects were divided retrospectively into groups consuming 2-8 chewing gum pieces per day and their caries incidence was compared. With chewing gum sweetened with sucrose, the caries incidence increased in relation to the daily consumption of gum. In contrast, chewing gum sweetened with xylitol reduced the incidence of caries with increasing consumption.
在为期1年的口香糖研究（Scheinin等人，1975年，图尔库糖业研究XVIII）纳入的100名受试者中，测量了每日食用用蔗糖或木糖醇调味的口香糖对龋齿发病率的影响。受试者被回顾性地分为每天食用2 - 8片口香糖的组，并比较了他们的龋齿发病率。对于用蔗糖调味的口香糖，龋齿发病率随着口香糖日摄入量的增加而上升。相比之下，用木糖醇调味的口香糖随着摄入量增加降低了龋齿发病率。
