Results of studies have shown that chewing mastic Chios for 20 minutes after meal enhances enamel re-enrichment, possibly through increased saliva flow. Studies have also shown a significant reduction in microbial load after Chios chewing gum for 45 minutes and a significant reduction in the microbial plaque marker in those who chewed it 20 minutes after each meal.

Chios mastic chewing also causes a statistically significant reduction of caries in saliva (sterptococci mutans) compared to placebo dentures, "she said, citing studies by foreign scientists, adding that her use showed a gradual reduction of bacterial colonies in saliva at 62 , 1% .
