Summary

This study aimed to see if chewing xylitol gum could prevent cavities in children aged 5 to 14 living in Ladakh, India. Participants would have chewed gum with either 100% or 22% xylitol daily for a school year. However, the study was withdrawn before any children enrolled, so no results are available.
