Remiantis Odontologų rūmų informacija Lietuvoje turime 8721 burnos priežiūros specialistą su galiojančia licencija Ksilitolis – tai natūraliai susidaręs organinis junginys, kuris turi penkis anglies atomus ir penkias hidroksi grupes (Ur-Rehman ir kt., 2015). Rafeek ir kt. (2018) teigia, jog ksilitolio vartojimas skatina seilėtekį, atstato burnos pH į šarminę ir stiprina emalio remineralizaciją. Viena svarbiausių ksilitolio savybių yra antikariogeniškumas, kuri kontroliuodama Lactobacillus ir Streptococcus mutans augimą seilėse padeda sumažinti dantų ėduonies ir apnašo formavimąsi (Mohamad ir kt., 2015). Pagal Higienos institutą, Lietuvoje yra bene didžiausias dantų karieso paplitimas palyginus su kitomis ES šalimis. Pagal 2016m. duomenis, 19,48 proc. 7-17m. amžiaus vaikų neturėjo kariozinių, plombuotų ar išrautų dantų, labai žemas KPI nustatytas 29 proc. vaikų, žemas KPI – 12,15 proc., vidutinis 7-17m. vaikų – 21,18 proc., aukštas – 14,18 proc. ir labai aukšta KPI turi net 21,96 proc. 7-17m. amžiaus Lietuvos vaikų. |
