Abstract
A two-year observation was carried out over schoolchildren in order to find out the possibility of preventing dental caries by replacing sugar with xylitol. Replacement of 30 g of sweets per day with xylitol led to a significant decrease in the incidence of caries in permanent teeth and had a beneficial effect on the clinical course of caries.
