Abstract | OBJECTIVE: Adsorbed conditioning films of salivary components on dental enamel surfaces or pellicles form the interface between teeth and the oral environment. The wetting ability of salivary conditioning films dictates biological adhesion phenomena such as plaque formation, calcification and staining, and also influences mouth perception through effects on lubricity. This study assessed the effects of hexametaphosphate release from a chewing gum matrix on the wetting ability of salivary conditioning films in vitro and in vivo. METHODOLOGY: RESULTS: CONCLUSION:
