The Effect of Xylitol on Dental Caries in Children: A Case Study

This case study examines a six-year-old child who enjoys consuming sweets but suffers from multiple dental cavities. We explore the impact of chewing gum containing xylitol as a potential therapeutic measure to reduce the incidence of dental decay. The findings are discussed in the context of clinical presentations and implications for patient education regarding early childhood caries. The study reviews existing literature from 2004-2007 to assess xylitol's effectiveness compared to regular chewing gum on dental health outcomes.

  19. LOE (GRADE) • 評分方式：結合研究方法，研究品質，一致性，相關性 • 高（high）= further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect • 中（moderate）= further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate • 低（low）= further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate • 極低（very low）= any estimate of effect is very uncertain The GRADE Working Group - http://www.gradeworkinggroup.org/
