Comparison of Five Different Salivary Buffering Agents on the Changes in pH of Saliva in a Cohort Previously Exposed to a Test Sweetened Flavored Milk Drink: A Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Group 1: no intervention, Group 2: tap water gargle, and 4 other interventions for Saliva Altered and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The diurnal variation in the flow of saliva and hence the composition of saliva is an established fact. Consumption of most types of acidic and sweetened foods and beverages are known to reduce the pH of saliva and some of them even 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 selected commercially available test sweetened flavored milk drink on the salivary pH and assess the buffering capacity of the saliva with or without various intervention measures following the exposure to the test flavored milk drink at different time intervals.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Unstimulated saliva samples are collected from the subject to measure the pH of saliva after 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes of consumption of the test flavored milk drink without any intervention.
The subject will use 10 ml of tap water as mouth rinse to swish for 60 seconds and spit, 15minutes after the subject has consumed the test flavored milk drink. Unstimulated saliva samples are collected from the subject to measure and record the pH of saliva at 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the subject completes the gargle as an intervention.
The subject will use 10 ml of 0.2% Chlorhexidine mouth rinse (Rexidine®, Indoco Remidies Ltd, Mumbai, India) to swish for 60 seconds and spit, 15minutes after the subject has consumed the test flavored milk drink. Unstimulated saliva samples are collected from the subject to measure and record the pH of saliva at 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the subject completes the gargle as an intervention.
The subject will Brush with fluoridated toothpaste-(Colgate Total®, Colgate-Palmolive Company, Mumbai, India) for 2 minutes using soft brush, 15minutes after the subject has consumed the test flavored milk drink. Unstimulated saliva samples are collected from the subject to measure and record the pH of saliva at 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the subject completes using tooth paste as an intervention.
The subject will chew polyol containing gum (Orbit®, WrigleyCompany) for 5 minutes and spit, 15minutes after the subject has consumed the test flavored milk drink. Unstimulated saliva samples are collected from the subject to measure and record the pH of saliva at 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the subject completes chewing as an intervention.
The subject will use 10 ml freshly prepared 1% sodium bicarbonate w/v solution to swish for 60 seconds and spit, 15minutes after the subject has consumed the test flavored milk drink. Unstimulated saliva samples are collected from the subject to measure and record the pH of saliva at 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the subject completes the gargle as an intervention.
