APPLICATION OF CPP-ACP REMINERALIZATION MATERIALS (TOOTH MOUSSE) ON SALIVA PH IN STUDENT

Abstract

Introduction: Dental and oral health is very important because it can affect the overall health of the body and affect the quality of life. Casein phosphopeptide-Amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) is one of the ingredients used in dentistry to prevent caries. The degree of acidity of the pH of saliva is one of the factors that cause dental caries. The aim of the Research : To analyze the pH image of Saliva before and after the smearing of CPP-ACP (Tooth mousse) remineralization materials in 1st grade students of Anaka Elementary School tasikmalaya City. Type of Research: This research is a type of deskriphal research with a one group pre and post test research design design. The sampling technique is the total population, with a total sample of 34 respondents. Hasil saliva pH examination before and after being given the smearing treatment of CPP-ACP (Tooth mousse) remineralization material. Result of the Research: The results of salivary pH research before the smearing of antiangiogenic substances CPP-ACP (Tooth mousse) were at pH < 7 as many as 34 people (100%) with an average pH of 6.00 in the "acid" category. While the pH of saliva after the smearing of anticariogenic material CPP-ACP (Tooth mousse) is the most at pH = 7 as many as 32 people (94.1%) pH < 7 as many as 2 people with an average pH of 6.95 "neutral" category. Research Conclusion: That the use of Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste may increase salivary pH in the normal direction.
