- Long-Term Effect of Erythritol on Dental Caries Development during Childhood: A Posttreatment Survival Analysis
PubMed ID: 27806364

- Clinical outcomes following periodontal surgery and root surface decontamination by erythritol-based air polishing. A randomized, controlled, clinical pilot study
PubMed ID: 32839833
Erythritol powder with air‑polishing during periodontal surgery produced similar PD/CAL improvements to conventional debridement.
- Adjunctive air-polishing with erythritol in nonsurgical periodontal therapy: a randomized clinical trial
PubMed ID: 33372602
Adjunctive erythritol reduced residual deep pockets and MMP‑8 in non‑surgical periodontal therapy.
- A novel biofilm removal approach (Guided Biofilm Therapy) utilizing erythritol air-polishing and ultrasonic piezo instrumentation: A randomized controlled trial
PubMed ID: 34218516
Combining erythritol air‑polishing and ultrasonic scaling removed biofilm as effectively as conventional therapy, faster and better liked by patients.
- Clinical evaluation of air polishing with erythritol powder followed by ultrasonic calculus removal versus conventional ultrasonic debridement and rubber cup polishing for the treatment of gingivitis: A split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial
PubMed ID: 34275193
Air‑polishing with erythritol + targeted ultrasonic scaling reduced bleeding slightly, was quicker and preferred by patients.
- Clinical outcomes following subgingival application of a novel erythritol powder by means of air polishing in supportive periodontal therapy: a randomized, controlled clinical study
PubMed ID: 24078975
Subgingival erythritol air‑polishing matched scaling clinically while being faster and more comfortable (practical dental benefit).
- Estimating the effectiveness of lollipops containing xylitol and erythritol on salivary pH in 3-6 years olds: A randomized controlled trial
PubMed ID: 35439878
Salivary pH rose after exposure to erythritol/xylitol lollipop, consistent with non‑fermentability by cariogenic bacteria.
- Efficacy of the additional use of subgingival air-polishing with erythritol powder in the treatment of periodontitis patients: a randomized controlled clinical trial. Part II: effect on sub-gingival microbiome
PubMed ID: 36538094
Erythritol+CHX air‑polishing reduced periodontopathogens and increased health‑associated taxa—consistent with non‑fermentable/antibiofilm effects.
- Air-polishing followed by ultrasonic calculus removal for the treatment of gingivitis: A 12-month, split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial
PubMed ID: 38689395
Guided biofilm therapy with erythritol achieved similar/better plaque and bleeding control and was more comfortable—supports tooth‑friendly profile.
- Comparison of three full-mouth concepts for the non-surgical treatment of stage III and IV periodontitis: A randomized controlled trial
PubMed ID: 34517434
Full‑mouth protocol with erythritol improved pocket closure and time‑efficiency vs quadrant SRP—supports clinical utility for oral health.
- Conventional versus comprehensive dental prophylaxis: comparing the clinical outcomes between rubber cup and air polishing and the importance of plaque disclosure
PubMed ID: 33491396
Erythritol air‑polishing removed more plaque and was faster/preferred—plaque control is relevant to tooth health.
- A randomized controlled trial on the plaque-removing efficacy of a low-abrasive air-polishing system to improve oral health care
PubMed ID: 34269042
Supragingival erythritol air‑polishing removed plaque more effectively and kept plaque lower at 24 h than rubber‑cup polishing.
- Subgingival air-polishing with erythritol during periodontal maintenance: randomized clinical trial of twelve months
PubMed ID: 25041441
12‑month trial: erythritol air‑polishing reduced pockets comparably to ultrasonic cleaning with less pain and fewer A.a. detections.
- Effect of erythritol and xylitol on dental caries prevention in children
PubMed ID: 24852946
Large 3‑year RCT in children showing fewer dentin caries and delayed lesion progression with erythritol candies.
- The effects of erythritol air-polishing powder on microbiologic and clinical outcomes during supportive periodontal therapy: Six-month results of a randomized controlled clinical trial
PubMed ID: 25262675
6‑month RCT: erythritol powder air‑polishing produced similar clinical/microbiologic results to SRP.
Stomach comfort (2)
- Gastrointestinal tolerance of erythritol and xylitol ingested in a liquid
PubMed ID: 16988647
Tolerance trial: erythritol well tolerated at 20–35 g; produced significantly fewer watery faeces than xylitol at comparable doses.
- Gastrointestinal tolerance of erythritol-containing beverage in young children: a double-blind, randomised controlled trial
PubMed ID: 25744158
Pediatric tolerance: no‑observed‑effect level at 15 g; GI symptoms increased at 20–25 g—shows better tolerance window but limits.
Blood sugar (2)
- The effect of a new mixture of sugar and sugar-alcohols compared to sucrose and glucose on blood glucose increase and the possible adverse reactions: A phase I double-blind, three-way randomized cross-over clinical trial
PubMed ID: 30871947
Multi‑sugar beverage (including erythritol) produced smaller postprandial glucose rises vs glucose/sucrose (attributable in part to erythritol).
- Effect of a Chronic Intake of the Natural Sweeteners Xylitol and Erythritol on Glucose Absorption in Humans with Obesity
PubMed ID: 34836205
5–7 week RCT showed no change in marker of intestinal glucose absorption—neutral/negative for increasing glucose absorption.
