Evaluation of the efficacy of some preventive measures on their ability to restrict fall in salivary pH after consumption of carbonated drinks

Introduction and Aim: Salivary pH is important for healthy enamel of the teeth. Consumption carbonated beverages leads to a drop in salivary which favors growth microorganisms, leading dental caries. This study evaluates efficacy preventive measures resisting change after consumption drink. Materials Methods: The consisted four experiments (1 4), conducted with thirty-seven participants: drink, 1) directly from glass, 2) Using straw. Preventive post 3) rinsing mouth water, 4) chewing sugar free gum. was measured using paper narrow range at basal level, <1, 5 30 min data analysed by descriptive statistics intergroup comparisons were done ANOVA Tukey test. Results: In all there an increase <1 significant decrease 5-20 (p<0.001). There no difference between two modes drink (p>0.05). Post gum resisted fall longer duration than water 5-10 (p<0.000). Conclusion: beverages, such as resist saliva. Chewing more effective water.
