Abstract
The metabolism of carbohydrates in the oral environment is discussed.
Manometric methods are very suitable for the study of carbohydrate breakdown in the mouth, only small amounts of material being required. Results of the overall metabolic products can be obtained as also a knowledge of particular enzymic processes.
The use of enzyme inhibitors to reduce acid production in the mouth is discussed briefly.
