Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Percentage change in plaque index and gingival bleeding before and after chewing gum. Timepoint: Measurements at the beginning of the study and after 14 days of chewing gums. Method of measurement: Bleeding index, using periodontal prop in four levels of the sulcus, will be measured slowly for 30 seconds before and after using the chewing gum in each intervention and control group. Dental Plaque Index (DPI) will be calculated using the O’Leary index.;Measurement of streptococcus mutans in saliva. Timepoint: Measurements at the beginning of the study and after 14 days of using chewing gum. Method of measurement: Samples will be sent to the microbiology laboratory to determine the number of Streptococcus mutans colonies, the data of the control group and the intervention group will be analyzed using the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), first in each group separately and then jointly. Saliva collection of these individuals will be done by the unstimulated method and will be cultured in order to count the number of Streptococcus mutans in a specific medium of Mitis salivarius agar at 37 ° C.;Saliva pH difference before and after using the vegetable gum. Timepoint: On the day 15 of the experiment. Method of measurement: 1 ml of saliva will be applied to the pH meter electrode for four consecutive measurements after 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes of using the chewing gum. The final salivary pH will be recorded as the average of the three measurements. Independent t-test and covariance test will be used after measuring the pH of saliva in the two groups of control and intervention, before and after using chewing gum, with an average of three times. | — |
