Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1.Changes in salivary acidogenicity and plaque acidogenicity (measured by pH levels) after exposure to the milk with various sweeteners. 2.The interventionional impact on the pH levels of saliva and plaque will be measured to assess the acidogenic potential of the sweeteners.Timepoint: Changes in salivary acidogenicity and plaque acidogenicity (measured by pH levels) after exposure to the milk with various sweeteners at baseline,5 minutes,10 minutes,20minutes and 30 minutes.	—
