Abstract
The average pH change from the control value 6.72 for 19 subjects was -0.59 during ingestion of experimental sucrose tablets and -0.84 after ingestion. There was a significant positive correlation between the magnitude of the pH decreases and the amount of plaque. There was no correlation between the magnitude of the pH changes and the DMFS index.Keywords
