Comparison of the effect of salt water rinse, sugar-free chewing gum and tooth brushing on the pH of saliva

Abstract: To compare the effect of salt water rinse, sugar – free chewing gum and tooth brushing on the pH of saliva. 30 participants were included in the study. Baseline pH was measured using a digital pH meter. The participants were asked to swish their mouths with sucrose solution, and pH was measured. They were randomly divided into three groups namely; Group A –salt water rinse, Group B-sugar-free chewing gum and Group C- tooth brushing. After the intervention, the final pH was measured, and the recordings were com… Show more

“…The greater frequency daily (10 and 15×) was observed for preventive treatment [61,62]. Dental caries was the outcome that presented a longer time of intervention (4-year) probably because some clinical changes in this outcome can be better observed in the long term [47], while some interventions that evaluated blood glucose levels, salivary parameters, halitosis, and urinary effects, for example, were performed only once [14,[63][64][65][66][67], considering that variations in these outcomes may occur in the short term.…”

“…Chewing gum was the most common form among studies and may have been chosen due to its greater acceptance by the general population. The more recent studies exhibited a positive effect of xylitol gums for antimicrobial activity [22,23,25,26,30,82], dental caries [30,82], dental biofilm [23,31,82], periodontal condition [23,30,31], salivary parameters [26,30,67], and gastric emptying [12]. The presentation forms less common are aerosol, tested for treat acute rhinopharyngitis in children, but without positive effect [83]; cream to treat atopic dermatitis and Staphylococcus aureus in the skin of adults [84], and milk to control S. mutans in children's biofilm and saliva [18,85].…”
