Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Reduction of salivary streptococcus mutans. Timepoint: 2weeks. Method of measurement: Samples are asked to use mouthwash once a day for 2 weeks and after consuming mouthwash for at least 30 minutes to refrain from consuming any food and beverages as well as mouth washing. Saliva samples are taken from all participants before and after mouthwash. The sampling method is to ask them to rinse their mouths with saline before eating breakfast and brushing their teeth. Then 1 cc of non-stimulating saliva is collected by spitting in a sterile tube and immediately sent to the laboratory for microbial culture and measurement of Streptococcus mutans (CFU / ml).
