Due to dearth of literature on the effect of herbal toothpaste on saliva and salivary constituents, the present study was undertaken to evaluate and compare the effect of three different herbal toothpastes with the focus on on salivary pH and salivary glucose. Forty five subjects in the age group of 19-21 years were randomly divided into 3 groups (15 in each group) and were randomly intervened with three different herbal toothpastes (Dant Kanti, Himalaya Complete Care and Vicco Vajradanti). Unstimulated saliva samples were collected before and after brushing and salivary glucose and pH levels were assessed at an interval of one week each for a period of 4 weeks starting from day 1. All the three toothpastes were effective in reducing the overall (p < 0.05) levels as well as levels of salivary glucose from pre-brushing to post-brushing at each interval (p < 0.05) and in increasing the overall levels as well as levels of salivary pH (p < 0.05) from pre-brushing to post-brushing at each interval. Herbal toothpastes were effective in reducing salivary levels of glucose and improving pH of the saliva.
由于关于草本牙膏对唾液及唾液成分影响的文献匮乏，本研究旨在评估和比较三种不同草本牙膏对唾液pH值和唾液葡萄糖的影响。45名年龄在19 - 21岁的受试者被随机分为3组（每组15人），并分别使用三种不同的草本牙膏（丹特康提、喜马拉雅全效护理和维可 vajradanti）进行随机干预。在刷牙前后收集未刺激唾液样本，从第1天开始，每隔一周评估一次唾液葡萄糖和pH值水平，为期4周。所有三种牙膏在降低各时间段刷牙前到刷牙后的总体水平（p < 0.05）以及唾液葡萄糖水平（p < 0.05），并提高各时间段刷牙前到刷牙后的总体水平以及唾液pH值水平（p < 0.05）方面均有效果。草本牙膏在降低唾液葡萄糖水平和改善唾液pH值方面有效。
