Summary

This study aims to investigate the changes in saliva and dental plaque pH after consuming sugar-free chewing gum containing 5% of aqueous propolis in children aged between 8-11 years. The studied sample will be divided into two groups: Group A (Control group) placebo chewing gum, and Group B (Experimental group) aqueous propolis chewing gum. All children will experience both types of chewing gum with an interval of 1 week between the two studied groups.

Effect of aqueous propolis gums in salivary and dental plaque pH in children

The child will be given a 10% sucrose solution, and the salivary pH will be measured before and after giving sucrose solution (Baseline) and then the child will be given aqueous propolis gum to chew for 15 minutes to stimulate salivation. The saliva pH will be measured by taking a sample of the patient's saliva (3ml) while chewing the gum in the mouth in a disposable container and then saliva pH will be measured. Dental plaque pH also will be measured before and after administration of a 10% sucrose solution (Baseline), and then 15 minutes after chewing aqueous propolis gum dental plaque will be collected using the "plaque collection" technique from the 6 buccal surfaces of teeth 16,21,26,36,41,46 using a sterile excavator. The sample will be mixed with 0.05 ml of distilled water until it dissolves and then dental plaque pH will be measured.
