Two independent cross-over studies have now been carried out to evaluate the effect of a regime of chewing sucrose-containing gum on enamel lesion remineralization. The first study has been reported in detail elsewhere. This further study aimed to increase the data set with an additional 13 volunteers. Similar protocols were followed in both studies. Weighted averages from the two studies showed delta z values corresponding to 16.8% remineralization for the gum versus 11.6% remineralization for the control (p = 0.046, two-sided). A significant difference between test and control was evident for lesion body (p = 0.0004, two-sided) but not for surface zone (p = 0.32, two-sided).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
