Brief Summary

The diurnal variation in the flow of saliva and hence the composition of saliva is an established fact. Consumption of acidic and sweetened food and beverage is known to reduce the salivary pH and some of them reduce it to critical pH levels and result in structural damage to the hard tissues of the tooth. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the effect of the select commercially available test carbonated drink containing sugar on the salivary pH and assess the buffering capacity of the saliva with or without various intervention measures following the exposure to the test carbonated drink at different time intervals.

Conditions

Saliva Altered; Oral Hygiene; pH; Tooth Structure; Disorder

Keywords

pH of saliva; carbonated drink; buffering agent; oral hygiene

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• pH of Saliva at baseline

  All subjects in all groups collects the unstimulated saliva in a sterile glass dish for the measurement of baseline pH of the saliva. The subject will give the saliva sample just before being exposed to the test carbonated drink by swishing 100ml of CocaCola in mouth for 2minutes and then drinking it The outcome accessor is blinded to origin of sample (from which group).
