Cаse # BB - Belle Lee Bump is а 32-yeаr-оld female, pregnant and in her third trimester. When she was in seven mоnths agо for her recare appointment, her assessment revealed very slight BOP, pockets of 1-3 mm and a plaque index of 15%. At that time she reported she brushed twice daily and flossed 5-6 times a week. Belle had bite-wing radiographs at that appointment which showed no bone loss and no caries. She tells you that during her first trimester she had significant trouble with morning sickness and nausea, and is doing better, but still has trouble with gagging when she brushes or tries to floss. The current assessment reveals generalized edema and erythema, generalized BOP, pockets of 1-4 mm and a plaque index of 30%. A clinical exam reveals no areas of decay although slight demineralization is noted on several posterior teeth at the gumline.QUESTION: You counsel Belle that there is a sugar alcohol that is beneficial in inhibiting s. mutans and may also be helpful in reducing caries risk in her baby 'in the future. It can also help her since it has a direct effect on remineralization. You tell her to look for what ingredient on a product label?
