I-Xylitol. Izifundo⁵ uphakamise ukusebenza kwe-xylitol ekuvimbeleni izimbotshana. Le sweetener yemvelo izovimbela amagciwane Izinguquko ze-Streptococcus. Izinsini ezihlafunwayo eziqukethe i-xylitol zingasiza amazinyo.

I-Propolis. Ezinye izivivinyo zezilwane zikhombise imiphumela ethembisayo evela kwipropolis, kepha kubantu imiphumela etholakele ihlala ixubekile⁶. Ngokusho kombhali we-synthesis ezakhiweni zokulwa ne-caries yepropolis, imiphumela iyahlukahluka ngoba ukwakheka kwepropolis esetshenziswe ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kuyahlukahluka.⁷.

Ushizi. Ukusetshenziswa koshizi, ngokwezifundo eziningi, kungavimbela ukuqala kwemigodi^{8, I-9,10}. Labo ababhekele lo mphumela we-cariogenic ngamaminerali aseshizi, ikakhulukazi i-calcium ne-phosphorus. Bazokuvimbela ukwenziwa ngamazinyo ngamazinyo futhi kube nomthelela ekwenzeni kwabo amaminerali¹¹. Ucwaningo¹² ngakolunye uhlangothi uphakamise umphumela ku-caries wokudla iyogathi, ngaphandle kokukhombisa imiphumela efanayo yeminye imikhiqizo yobisi efana noshizi, ibhotela noma ubisi.

Itiye. Itiye, noma ngabe liluhlaza noma limnyama, lizosiza futhi ekuvikeleni ukubola kwamazinyo. Kunganciphisa isenzo se-enzyme ekhona ematheni indima yayo ukwehlukanisa isitashi sokudla sibe ushukela olula. Itiye eliluhlaza kuthiwa linomphumela omuhle kuma-caries ngenxa yama-polyphenols alo angavimba ukukhula kwama-caries ahambisana nama-caries.^13,14,15.

I-Cranberry. Ukudla ama-cranberries kuzonciphisa ukwakheka kocwecwe lwamazinyo nokubola kwamazinyo. Kodwa-ke, qaphela, ngoba amajusi ayiqukethe ngokuvamile anothe ngoshukela ngakho-ke ayifanele inhlanzeko yomlomo.¹⁶.

Hop. Ama-polyphenols, izinto ezitholakala kuma-hops, zihamba kancane ngokuya ngezifundo ezithile^17,18 ukwakheka kocwecwe lwamazinyo ngakho-ke kufaka isandla ekuvikeleni izimbotshana.
