Abstract
Background and aim: Saliva plays an important role in oral and dental health by maintaining the pH balance, buffering capacity and proteins. Chemical plaque control methods, such as mouthwashes, act as supplements. Salt water alkalinizes saliva and acts as a supplement. Salt water acts as an astringent & along with baking soda are effective in reducing mouth acidity. The purpose of this study is the effect of washing with salt water or baking soda on the pH of saliva and plaque.
Materials and methods: This study was conducted on 62 dental students with an average age of 25 years including 31 men & 31 women. They used mouthwash for two weeks. 2 ml of saliva and some plaque attached to the distal surface of tooth # 6 on the right side of the lower jaw were collected. The pH of saliva and plaque in each group was measured using a pH measuring device manufactured by Teb Azma company in Iran before and after washing.SPSS software and Two Way ANOVA statistical test were used for statistical analysis.
Results: Both sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate mouthwashes increase the pH of saliva and plaque. Based on the results of the 2-Way Repeated Measure ANOVA test, the increase in pH of saliva and plaque after using sodium bicarbonate mouthwash is more than the increase in pH of saliva and plaque after using sodium chloride mouthwash (p-value<0. 001)
Conclusion: :  The increase in pH of saliva and plaque after using sodium bicarbonate mouthwash is more than the increase in pH of saliva and plaque after using sodium chloride mouthwash
