Over a period of 208 days a randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted to assess plaque and calculus accumulation in dogs provided with a xylitol-based drinking water additive. A crossover design was utilized allowing each dog to participate in each 90-day treatment and control phase. Inclusion of a xylitol drinking water additive resulted in a 5.1% decrease in mean tooth plaque score and a 14.9% decrease in mean calculus score. Daily administration of a palatable, xylitol drinking water additive that required little time and effort reduced plaque and calculus accumulation in dogs.
在208天的时间里,进行了一项随机双盲临床试验,以评估给予含木糖醇饮用水添加剂的犬只的牙菌斑和牙结石堆积情况。采用交叉设计,使每只犬都能参与每个为期90天的治疗和对照阶段。添加木糖醇饮用水添加剂使平均牙菌斑评分降低了5.1%,平均牙结石评分降低了14.9%。每日给予一种可口的、只需很少时间和精力的木糖醇饮用水添加剂,可减少犬只的牙菌斑和牙结石堆积。
