Natural product : The leaves of the guava tree are full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, antibacterials, and even tannins that can have significant health benefits, from treating stomach troubles to chronic diseases like cancer •
chemical agent used as a mouthwash against cariogenic bacteria. considered the gold standard
Anti-bacterial effect against streptococcus mutans
Antimicrobial effect against streptococcus mutans: saliva samples collected and total bacterial count measured after agar plates incubating, expressed in colony forming units
Time frame: 3 months
Salivary pH
Saliva samples pH will be measured using digital pH meter to evaluate its efficacy in preventing the action of acidogenic bacteria in high caries risk patients. It displays numerical value.
Time frame: 3 months
