Abstract

Objective: A quasi- experimental study was conducted in Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy in order to evaluatecorrelations between salivary flow rate, pH as well as buffer capacity before and after chewing xylitol gum. Subject and method: Whole mouth saliva was collected from 43 volunteers who met inclusion criteria and gave informed consent. After unstimulated saliva was collected, stimulated saliva was collected at intervals during each 5 min of xylitol chewing. The salivary flow and pH were measured for each sample. Result: At rest, unstimulated salivary flow rate was statistically significant lower than buffer capacity (p=0.000). In contract, pH of unstimulated saliva was higher than buffer capacity (p=0.000). After chewing xylitol, due to increasing pH and saliva flow, the differences between pH, saliva flow long in comparison with buffer capacity rise considerably, with 2.52302 and 1.72395 respectively. Conclusion: The increased salivary pH and flow with xylitol gum may have implications for oral health and prevent of dental caries
