Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Salivary pH This was done for the saliva samples collected at baseline and after 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the intervention. Salivary pH is measured using a calibrated pH meter (Thermo Scientific Orion Star A211 Benchtop pH Meter, Catalog No. STARA2110). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Salivary flow rate This was done for the saliva samples collected at baseline and after 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the intervention. The samples were weighed using a digital scale, and the weightwas divided by the duration of collection, yielding the salivary flow rate in (g/min), which is roughly equivalent to the (mL/min) value. | — |
