“…The increase in salivary pH value after consuming original yogurt can be explained by the content of probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus in the yogurt. Probiotic bacteria can inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause dental caries, and help prevent the process of tooth demineralization by helping to increase the pH value of saliva [7].…”

Background: Dental caries occur due to a dynamic demineralization process that happens when calcium and phosphate ions are dissolved and carbohydrates are fermented by microorganisms in the mouth, leading to a decrease in saliva pH. Saliva production occurs as a response to stimuli such as tasting and chewing food. Saliva contains oral cavity bacteria, cervical gingival fluid, and leftover food, known as whole saliva. Normally, saliva pH ranges from 6.8-7.2 and can decrease if someone consumes foods and drinks containing sucrose. One way to reduce the risk of dental caries is by consuming original yogurt. Yogurt contains probiotic bacteria, namely Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, which act as inhibitors of cariogenic bacteria growth. The calcium content in yogurt helps in the tooth remineralization process. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of consuming original yogurt on changes in saliva pH in the oral cavity. Methods: This research is pre-experimental with pretest and posttest design. The research sample consisted of 30 dental students from the Faculty of Dentistry, Institute of Health Sciences Bhakti Wiyata Kediri in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, who met the sample criteria. Results: Data were analyzed using the parametric Paired T-Test hypothesis test, with a significance value of 0.000. Conclusion: Original yogurt consumption has an impact on changes on salivary pH in the oral cavity.

Saliva is a complex oral fluid consisting of a mixture of secretions from the salivary glands present in the oral cavity. Saliva is mostly produced while eating. Food can cause saliva to be acidic or alkaline. Saliva acts as a buffer system to maintain a neutral pH. The acidity level of neutral salivary pH is at number 7. Bacterial growth occurs at the optimum salivary pH range (4.5-5.5) which will facilitate the growth of Streptococcus mutants bacteria which is the bacteria that causes caries. The degree of acidity (pH) of saliva can increase the occurrence of remineralization which will reduce the occurrence of caries. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of gargling probiotic solution on increasing salivary pH. This type of research is a literature study. The method of data collection is by taking data in libraries or official writings published by the government and other institutions, both books and digital. The results of the literature review found that there was a significant difference in saliva pH before and after rinsing probiotic solutions, namely the salivary pH has increased towards alkaline.
