OBJECTIVE: The present study aims to compare the effect of chewing gum without and with xylitol on salivary levels of Streptococcus mutans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This double-blind, controlled study was performed in 22 volunteers aged 20-25 years old, with at least two cavities of II degree, absence of periodontal disease, prothesis or orthodontics. They were randomly divided into two equal groups. Saliva samples were collected before consumption of chewing gums and counting colony forming units (CFU) was made, recording the baseline. Subsequently, a group was asked to chew a chewing gum with xylitol 60.5% (1 g) and the other, a chewing gum without xylitol, 5 minutes, once daily, for 3 days. They were inoculated and the colonies counted. RESULTS : The results did not show statistically significant at baseline ( p = 0.059) difference, but at 24 and 72 hours the CFU group with xylitol to the CFU in the control group decreased significantly (p < 0.001 ) on salivary levels of Streptococcus mutans. CONCLUSION: Chewing gum with xylitol showed statistically significant reduction (p<0.001) on salivary levels of Streptococcus mutans compared with chewing gum without xylitol.
