AbstractIn our opinion, the ‘hang-time’ of nitrate-containing products discussed in the letter by Green and Green is an interesting variable that should be considered when nitrate-based treatment or prevention strategies are designed. However, due to direct nitrate recycling after nitrate intake, products with a long ‘hang-time’ (e.g., chewing gum) may not always have an advantage compared to products with a short ‘hang-time’ (e.g., vegetable juices).

AbstractThe reduction of nitrate to nitrite by the oral microbiota has been proposed to be important for oral health and results in nitric oxide formation that can improve cardiometabolic conditions. Studies of bacterial composition in subgingival plaque suggest that nitrate-reducing bacteria are associated with periodontal health, but the impact of periodontitis on nitrate-reducing capacity (NRC) and, therefore, nitric oxide availability has not been evaluated.
