Abstract
Background: The use of fixed orthodontics can affect the state of the oral cavity and salivary pH which is one of the causes of dental caries. The lower the pH of saliva, the higher the risk of dental caries. Decoction of bay leaves as a mouthwash effectively inhibits the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria which play a role in the process of dental caries. Objective: To determine the effect of gargling bay leaf decoction on salivary pH in users of fixed orthodontics. Methods: This research is a pseudo-experiment with Pretest Posttest With Control Group design. The sample of this study was 80 respondents taken by accidental technique, data analysis using Wilcoxon and Mann Wthiney tests. Results: The degree of acidity (pH) of saliva before gargling bay leaf decoction water on acidic criteria was 35%, neutral was 50% and alkaline was 15% and after gargling acidic criteria was 2.5%, neutral was 67.5%, and alkaline was 30%. With an average before gargling 6.75 and an average after gargling 7.33. Gargling bay leaf decoction water before and after is significantly different at p=0.000. Between the experimental group and the control group had a significant difference of p=0.000. Conclusion: Bay leaf boiled water can increase salivary pH in users of fixed orthodontics.
