The effect of allulose, sucralose, and xylitol on Streptococcus mutans acid production
Allulose, sucralose, and xylitol did not cause a pH drop as low as sugars, and were not considered cariogenic, except for allulose potentially causing root caries. Sugar substitutes were not able to prevent a pH drop to near 3.5 after the glucose challenge indicating these substitutes are not anticariogenic in the presence of glucose.
