Effect of Sodium Phytate on the Chemical and Microbial Composition of Dental Plaque in the Monkey (Macaca fascicularis)Department of Dental Science, Royal College of Surgeons, London WC2A 3PN, England
Department of Dental Science, Royal College of Surgeons, London WC2A 3PN, England The incorporation of 1 or 3% sodium phytate in confectioners sugar produced minimal changes in the physical, chemical, and microbial composition of dental plaque in tube-fed monkeys during a two-week period. Only a reduction in yeasts and lactobacilli could be ascribed to the presence of phytate. Other changes were attributable to the transition from conventional feeding to tube-feeding, irrespective of the presence or absence of phytate.
