Chew Test

Chew tests are a method for performing diagnostic tests in a laboratory setting. It is based on the effects of certain conditions on the body - in this case, chewing gum. This method has significant implications for oral health, epidemiology, nutrition, and public health research.

The main idea of ​​the method is to create certain conditions for the development of microorganisms in the periodontal groove. To do this, chewing gum with a certain amount of sugar is used, which helps stimulate the activity of microorganisms. Using a special probe, particles of dental plaque are collected. Then the material is placed in a special tube or on paper. This makes it possible to establish the microbiological composition of dental plaque, as well as the concentration of chemicals released during chewing. The test results are used to develop programs and recommendations for the prevention of oral diseases.
