Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
The prevention of dental caries searches for possibilities to control biomarkers, such as pH of saliva and dental plaque, with the use of natural products. The objective is to determine the effect of two dental preparations containing basil and eucalyptus essential oils, on the saliva and plaque pH. Preparation H3 contains hydrophilic vehicle from polyethylene glycols, preparation L3 contains hydrophobic vehicle from silicon dioxide. The study includes 90 individuals, distributed in three groups – control, H3-treated and L3- treated. The applications are done on days 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. The saliva pH is tested with Saliva Check Buffer (GS), and the dental plaque pH with Plaque indicator kit (GS). The time control periods are day 0, day 10 and 1 month. The statistical processing is done with Fisher’s Exact Test, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Ms Excel 2010 and R – Statistics, graphic visualization with bar-charts. The use of dental preparation H3 and L3 results in reduction of the cases with critically low pH in the saliva and dental plaque, more markedly with L3. Statistically significant is the effect between day 0 and day 10, and there is a tendency of maintaining the values on month 1.
