1. What clinical phenomena did this study investigate?
2. Briefly describe the key elements of this method.
3. What are the most significant microbial changes in the xerostomatic patient and what
do you think is the clinical relevance?
3. Since oral hygiene alone is not effective in controlling caries in the xerostomatic
patient what other things can be done to slow the progression development of caries.
