title: [Sugar-substitutes in the prevention of dental caries (author's transl)].
abstract: Investigations performed with sugar-substitutes showed that from the partial substitution of carbohydrate in the food a significant cariesreduction may be expected. According to the data of the microbiological, pH, animal experiments and clinical examinations xylit proved to be the least cariogen agent and sorbit too has a reduced cariogen effect.
