“…Since stevia and related products fall shy of a pH of 7, these are neutral in acidity and are generally recognized as safe by the FDA. According to Singh et al (Sharma et al, 2017;Singh et al, 2017), it was reported that stevia act against Strep-tococcus mutans which is one among dental caries causing microorganisms According to Mohammadi-Sinchani et al Mohammadi-Sichani (2012), Stevia has good antimicrobial activity against streptococcus mutans and our current results also depict the same in which Group C shows fewer mutans growth compared with other groups. Hence, it can be a perfect sugar substitute and can replace sugar in all situations in a healthy way.…”

Stevia is a natural sweetener which is used as a sugar substitute. It has been suggested that Stevia may be anti-cariogenic. However, there is limited research in this regard. Currently, Stevia rebaudiana, a plant is considered to be a suitable replacement of sugar which is healthy and has much fewer side effects than other sweeteners. To assess the salivary pH and streptococcus mutans growth among the participants after mouth rinsing with water containing natural sweetener. This double-blinded parallel clinical trial was done among forty female participants aged 22-25 years. Study participants were selected and randomly allocated by lottery method as two different groups as group A, and B. Microbial growth and pH of the saliva was assessed twice, once before rising with stevia solution and at 20 minutes after rinsing with a sugar solution containing Stevia (single tablet and two tablets) mixed in distilled water. Collected data were analyzed using the paired t-test. It was found from the study that there was an increase in mean salivary pH when compared with the baseline value after rinsing with Stevia. There was an increase in the Streptococcus mutans count after rinsing with Stevia. Increase in streptococcus mutans count was found to be low in Group A than group B. pH value stays in neutral value even after rinsing with a natural sweetener. There is no much difference between Group A and B. Salivary pH after mouth rinsing with Stevia is in a neutral state. It has low Streptococcus mutans growth suggesting that Stevia can also be used as a sugar substitute replacing artificial sugar substitutes.

“…One of the key elements of oral health is oral hygienne maintenance. 1 The majority of oral health problems are dental caries and periodontal diseases. 2 According to the Basic Health Research (RISKESDAS) in 2018, it was stated that the prevalence of dental and oral health problems reached 57.6%, with 94.7% of people have tooth brushing behavior, only 2.8% who did it properly.…”

Backgrounds: The use of mouthwash daily may influence the mechanical properties of bioactive composite resin as a dental restoration, one of the mechanical properties is surface hardness. Herbal mouthwash can be used to minimize the side effect of mouthwash that contain alcohol. Mauli banana stem and basil leaf extracts can be produced into herbal mouthwash. Methods: Thirty specimens (10mm diameter x 2mm thick; n=5/group) bioactive composite resins were immersed in a mixed solution of Mauli banana and basil leaf extracts with concentration of 25%, 50%, 75 %%, 100%, the control group of chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% and aquadest for 7 days in 37oC. Measurement of the surface hardness was using the Vickers Microhardness Tester with 100 gf load for 15 seconds. Results: One Way ANOVA and Post Hoc Bonferroni exhibited the significant differences (p <0.05) in hardness values between the specimens that immersed in the mixed solution Mauli banana and Basil leaf extracts, which in the concentration of 100% (4,49 ± 4,61 VHN) compared with 25% (38,20 ± 2,58 VHN), 50% (41,40 ± 3,84 VHN) and 75% concentration (40,40 ± 3,55 VHN). There was no siginificant difference (p >0.05) between specimens immersed in CHX, aquadest and the mixed solution of mauli banana and basil leaf extracts in all concentration. Conclusion: There is no change in bioactive composite resin surface hardness after immersed in the mixed solution of Mauli Banana stem (Musa acuminata) and Basil leaf (Ocimum basilicum) extracts.Keywords: Basil leaf extract, Bioactive resin, Mauli Banana stem extract, Surface hardness

Objective: The pH of the daily used toothpaste and mouthwashes dramatically affects the balance of the demineralization and remineralization processes on the tooth structure. Yet, its value is not labeled on the container for public.The aim of this study is to measure the pH values of various toothpaste and mouthwashes those are commercially available in Sulaimani market. Methods: The pH value of twenty-one toothpastes and fifteen types of mouthwash commercially available in Sulaimani were measured twice by using JENWAY pH meter. The electrode immersed inside the tested sample (10 mL mouthwash and 2mg/10 mL toothpaste) for 3 minutes. The pH mean value for each sample was calculated. Results: The pH mean value for toothpaste and mouthwashes were 7.67 and 6.33, respectively. Low pH values were reported in Vitis- ortho (4.94), and Desensin repair toothpaste (6.99) and high values reported in A.ME menton &calcium toothpaste (8.85) and Nano- whitening mouthwash (7.855). Conclusions: The pH of toothpaste was neutral to slightly basic. Thus their repeated use is considered as none erosive. While the pH of mouthwashes was acidic or somewhat optimal, that indicates the possibility of enamel erosion with frequent use. Thus a careful mouthwash’s type selection is required.
