  • Title: A chewing gum containing 7.5% sodium hexametaphosphate inhibits stain deposition compared with a placebo chewing gum.
    Author: Biesbrock AR, Walters P, Bartizek RD.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2004 Apr; 25(4):253-4, 256, 258 passim; quiz 265, 299. PubMed ID: 15645861.
    Abstract:
    The 2-period, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study compared the stain-prevention and stain-removal benefit of a chewing gum containing 7.5% sodium hexametaphosphate (measured by digital image analysis) with a placebo chewing gum. The results of this study support that sodium hexametaphosphate delivered from a chewing gum prevents dental stain formation and facilitates stain removal, which leads to a perceptible whitening benefit. The long-term clinical benefits of sodium hexametaphosphate delivered from chewing gum have not been reported in the literature.
