Abstract

this investigation was carried out to verify the mechanical efficiency of a sugar-free chewing gum on dental plaque removal. Fifty (6.12 yr old) children were used. Firstly they receveid a dental prophylaxis and were instructed to not clean their teeth for 4 days. Following this period, they were examined for the IHOS (The simplified oral higiene index) recording and received 5 chewing gum tablets to chew during 15 minutes at one hour intervals, After chewing the IHOS was again obtained. Statistical analysis of the difference of data obtained before and after chewing showed the sugar-free gum as effective for plaque removal, at a 5% significant level.
