STUDY

A study conducted to evaluate the effect of a dark chocolate

formulated with SweetPearl^� on plaque-pH, in order to determine

if it is "safe for teeth".

According to the Toothfriendly International Association ,
the cariogenic potential of a product can be evaluated using a standardized test which consists in measuring the interdental plaque pH in situ in humans during dietary production consumption and for the following 30 minutes.

�

�STUDY DESIGN

�- Setting: University of Z�rich

�- Volunteers: 5 healthy subjects

�- Control product: Dark chocolate

�with sucrose

�- Tested product: Dark chocolate

�with SweetPearl^�maltitol

�- Dosages: 5 or 10g of chocolate

�

�METHOD

�- A miniaturized glass pH-electrode was

�incorporated in a mandibular telemetric prosthesis

�- Electrodes were covered with a 4 to 7 day-old

�interdental plaque, owing to the absence of

�oral hygiene prior to the test

�- Measurements lasted for 30 minutes after each

�product consumption

�- Before and after each treatment, the�plaque-pH

�was neutralized by salivary flow, which was stimulated

�by the chewing of neutral paraffin (Figure 1)

RESULTS

�

All of the measurements showed that in contrast to sucrose chocolate, there�was no critical decrease in the pH of interdental plaque during 30 min following the consumption of the maltitol chocolate.

The results demonstrated that dark chocolate formulated with SweetPearl^� maltitol�fulfilled the requirements of the standard Operation Procedures of Toothfriendly International Association to be qualified as "safe for teeth".
