[The nature of the distribution and utilization of saccharose in the oral cavity after carbohydrate loading].

Sucrose content on surface of oral tissues and in the oral fluid following a carbohydrate loading was studied in vivo synchronously and over time. The content of sucrose adsorbed by oral tissues was assessed by its desorption with applications. Sucrose concentrations were the highest in the liquid closest to tissues in comparison with its levels in the saliva in general, this indicating a high cariogenic potential of the buccal mucosa due to intake of easily fermented carbohydrates. Prolonged utilisation of adsorbed sucrose to unavailable concentration provides a sufficiently long contact of mineralized tissues with acidogenic solutions, this promoting the development of a cariogenic situation. Search for means to prevent cariogenic situations should be aimed at search for effective desorbents of sucrose from the oral cavity just after its intake.
