" 12/01/2009 - "Chewing-gum therapy following open gastrointestinal surgery is beneficial in reducing the period of postoperative ileus, although without a significant reduction in length of hospital stay. " 01/01/2012 - "Recent studies suggest that use of chewing gum can be effective in preventing postoperative ileus by a similar mechanism of action to early postoperative feeding. " 01/01/2008 - "Recent trials have shown promising results for the efficacy of gum chewing for the amelioration of postoperative ileus. " 01/01/2015 - "One non-pharmacological intervention that has shown promising results in reducing the duration of postoperative ileus is chewing gum after surgery. "

" 06/01/2007 - "Sugar-free chewing gum has been claimed to be a useful means of reducing dental plaque accumulation. " 06/01/2007 - "The effects of sugar-free chewing gums on dental plaque regrowth: a comparative study." 04/01/2007 - "[Effect of two kinds of chewing gums on dental plaque pH]." 07/01/2001 - "Chewing gum would also be suspected of providing benefits in controlling oral malodor through its claimed ability to mechanically aid in the removal of dental plaque.

" 01/01/2010 - " MATERIALS AND METHODS.: In our study were examined 21 subjects, 16 males and 5 females, aged between 5 and 12 years, with marginal gingivitis problems who have been given chewing gum containing the principle to test in measure of three per day. "
4.	Dental Caries (White Spot) 05/01/2008 - "These studies have shown that chewing sugar-free gum after meals results in a significant decrease in the incidence of dental caries and that the benefit is due to stimulating salivary flow rather than any chewing gum ingredient. " 04/01/1978 - "A three-year study on school-age children using trimetaphosphate as a chewing gum additive produced significant reductions in proximal surface dental caries increments as compared to an non-chewing gum group. " 01/01/2012 - "This was a single-center, prospective, cross-sectional study stratified by age and gender with the objective of determining the relationship between gum chewing history, salivary flow, and dental caries severity in adults.

5.	Xerostomia 01/01/2013 - "In the crossover trial, DTI, XI, IDWG2d, IDWG3d, VAS thirst and xerostomia score were significantly reduced by the use of chewing gum (P=0.000, 0.001, 0.009, 0.017, 0.038, 0.001). " 09/01/2011 - "The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of 3 months of regular use of sugar-free chewing gum on xerostomia, thirst, and hydration and nutritional status in HD patients. " 03/01/2005 - "The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of chewing gum or a saliva substitute on xerostomia, thirst and IWG. " 09/01/2011 - "Regular gum chewing is known to be well tolerated by most HD patients; however, it does not lead to the alleviation of xerostomia or excessive thirst and does not reduce IWG or improve hydration status." 06/01/2005 - "Patients who complain of mouth dryness after prolonged gum chewing may have become accustomed to the larger volume of saliva present in the mouth during the gum chewing."
