Abstract
The clearance from the mouth of 500 mg. portions of glucose sucked, eaten, chewed and rinsed-swallowed has been compared in 6 experimental subjects. The clearance was found to be most rapid for the rinsed-swallowed and slowest for the sucked glucose. When glucose was administered in the form of chewing gum low salivary glucose values were recorded after the first several mins. notwithstanding the persistence of the base. Attention is called to the possible significance of the findings in relation to the causation of dental caries.
