Caries overview

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the authors for their valuable contribution and to the members of the Organizing Committee for sparing their valuable time and efforts to cary out the review process so successfiilly. We hope that this Proceedings may serve as noticeable references for the scientific and industrial communities in the years to come, contribute to make an overview of new developments and application in chemical reaction engineering, and allow chemical reaction engineering to make its full contribution to further advancement of respective coimtries in the Asia-Pacific region and other parts of the world.

The latter mathematical modelling work has done much to increase our understanding of the role of plaque in the dynamics of the caries process. Dibdin has provided a recent overview of this topic [12], which focuses more...

Simple syrup is inappropriate for mouth preparations because it lowers the pH in the mouth and thus may cause caries. Polyols like sorbitol or xylitol and glycerine are considered safe for the teeth, as they do not lower the pH of the dental plaque. Xylitol would be the choice if sweetness is most important, because it is as sweet as saccharose. Saccharin is not useful because of its bitter after taste. An overview of flavourings can be found in Sect. 5.4.10.
