Material and Methods: Saliva was collected from 12 volunteer dental students at UNESP Sao Jose dos Campos / SP, in order to determine salivary flow (SR) rate and initial buffering capacity (BC). Participants presenting BC>4.0 were invited to continue the research. Participants chewed different types of gum for 3 consecutive days, and saliva was collected at 0-1min, 1-5min, and 5-10min intervals. The time required to neutralize saliva pH after chewing the different types of gum was analyzed by RM ANOVA and Tukey's test (5%). Results: RM ANOVA revealed significant influence on the interaction effect (chewing gum and time) (statisticFdf(4.66) = 4.027, p = 0.0055 <0.05). According to Tukey’s test, differences were observed in the following circumstances: for the 0-1 interval, BC of S differs from SF and P; BC of S differs from SF at 1-5 min and 5-10 min intervals; and, 0-1min interval differs from 1-5 min and 5-10 min intervals for both S and SF. Conclusion: Dentistry students showed no increased predisposition to dental caries with a specific type of chewing gum.

Material and Methods: The baseline sample was made up of 500 mother-child pairs followed since the birth of the child in Sao Leopoldo, Brazil. After the first birthday, micronutrients intake (calcium, iron, sodium, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B12 and folate) was recorded using the 24-hour recall method. At four years of age, a calibrated examiner evaluated the occurrence of S-ECC based on internationally accepted criteria. Poisson regression was used to investigate associations between exposures and the outcome. Results: The final sample comprised 314 children. The occurrence of S-ECC was higher among children who consumed less calcium (p=0.009), zinc (p=0.021) and vitamin C (p=0.036). However, after the multivariable adjustments, no micronutrient was associated with the occurrence of S-ECC. Conclusion: A lower intake of micronutrients at 12 months of age did not represent a risk factor for the occurrence of S-ECC at four years of age, suggesting that advice on feeding practices for dental caries prevention should focus mainly on dietary aspects (local effect) rather than nutritional aspects (systemic effect).","PeriodicalId":134552,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Research in Pediatric Dentistry and Integrated Clinic","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128877920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Candies were triturated and from the resulting powder, 3 samples of 5 grams were separated and dissolved in 10ml of doubly deionized water. This process has allowed reading pH in triplicate, measured with the aid of an in vitro combined potentiometer and electrode, previously gauged with pH 4 and 7 with standard solutions before reading. In candies with pH values under 5.5.pH, tritatable acidity was verified. Three 15-gram candy powder samples were separately dissolved in 30 ml of doubly deionized water.
