“…Artificial enamel lesions were created on tooth surfaces by immersion in a demineralizing solution (CaCl 2: 12 mM; KH2PO4: 10 mM; lactic acid: 50 mM; NaCl: 100 mM; pH=4.5) at 37°C for 6 h, followed by immersion in a remineralizing solution (CaCl 2: 1.5 mM; KH2PO4: 5 mM; Acetic acid: 100 mM; NaCl: 100 mM; pH=6.5) at 37°C for 18 h. This procedure was repeated every day for 14 days 18) .…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of resin infiltration and sealant type on enamel surface properties and Streptococcus mutans adhesion to artificial enamel lesions. Artificial enamel lesions were produced on the surfaces of 120 enamel specimens, which were divided into two groups: Group A and Group B (n=60 per group). Each group was further divided into four subgroups (n=15 per subgroup) according to sealant type: Group I-Demineralized enamel (control); Group II-Enamel Pro Varnish; Group III-ExciTE F; and Group IV-Icon. In Group A, hardness and surface roughness were evaluated; in Group B, bacterial adhesion was evaluated. Icon application resulted in significantly lower surface roughness and higher hardness than the other subgroups in Group A. In Group B, Enamel Pro Varnish resulted in lowest bacterial adhesion, followed by Icon. This study showed that resin infiltration of enamel lesions could arrest lesion progress.

“…Regarding children at high risk of developing early childhood caries (ECC), applying a toothpaste containing fluoride and xylitol compared to applying a toothpaste consisting of fluoride and sorbitol does not demonstrate a significant efficacy in reducing ECC [18]. However, in vitro studies suggest that combining fluoride and xylitol in toothpastes aids enamel remineralization [19]. Even so, in a metaanalysis by the ADA, it is stated that there is not enough evidence to acknowledge xylitol-containing dentifrices as preventing caries [14].…”

Sugar alcohols (or polyols), natural organic compounds, may be used in order to replace sucrose. There are many sugar alcohols administered in dental care and food products, such as maltitol, lactitol, sorbitol, mannitol, erythritol and xylitol.Xylitol (E 967) is a five-carbon sugar alcohol of crystalline structure and sweetness similar to sucrose and has the same relative sweetness, which is 1, and provides less energy compared to sucrose (2.4 kcal vs 4 kcal). It occurs naturally in certain fruits, such as plums, raspberries and strawberries, and in birch trees; it is also developed in the digestive reactions of the human body in the amount of 15 g/day. It can be industrially produced using products rich in xylans, such as corncobs and birch wood. Xylitol obtained in the reduction reaction of xylose in the presence of catalytic converters is used in the food and cosmetic industry as an ingredient of chewing gum, lozenges, sprays, mouth rinses, gels, toothpastes, wipes, candies and AbstractCaries pertains to most of the Polish community and is associated with a high intake of sucrose and monosaccharides. Their non-cariogenic analogue is xylitol -equally sweet as sucrose, but not metabolized by the majority of bacteria existing in the oral cavity. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the content of xylitol in dental care and food products available on the Polish market and their significance in caries prevention. The products were selected based on the literature, informational leaflets and information from manufacturers. The toothpastes and gels taken into consideration contain up to 25% xylitol, mouth rinses -25%, dental care sprays -35%, chewing gum -66-67% and candies -96%. A large number of dental care and food products recommended in caries prevention contain xylitol in diverse concentrations. If caries-producing sugars are replaced with non-cariogenic sugar alcohols, the frequency of caries may be diminished. On one hand, xylitol, as an acknowledged anti-carious agent, is included in many caries-prevention programs, in precise concentrations and regularly used, on the other hand -there is a lack of EBM (Evidence-Based Medicine) data indicating the effectiveness of xylitol, apart from those pertaining to fluoride toothpastes with the addition of xylitol. It is emphasized that more detailed trials are necessary to answer the question whether it is xylitol that is relevant in caries prevention or the alteration of habits -lessened sucrose intake or its complete substitution with a sweetener and the act of chewing, which stimulates salivation (Dent. Med. Probl. 2016, 53, 4, 542-550).

“…Therefore, it was hypothesized shorter time that the enamel is affected by an acidic challenge and higher pH values would reduce enamel demineralization and perhaps even enhance remineralization. In previous studies xylitol/NaF combination (25) and xylitol and fluoride containing tooth pastes (26) were found to be useful to enhance remineralization in vivo. As fluoride was used in both studies, the effect of xylitol cannot be considered.…”
