Abstract
Aim: To assess salivary pH changes in females during various phases of menstrual cycle. Methods: The study comprised of 30 females belonging to 18-23 years with regular menstrual cycle. Saliva was collected on 1st, 7th and 14th day of the menstrual cycle and pH was evaluated. Descriptive statistics were calculated and rANOVA was used for comparison of the obtained data from pH readings. Results: The mean salivary pH on Day 1 was 7.47±0.51, Day 7th was 7.57±0.51 and Day 14th was 7.37±0.49. There was no statistically significant difference in salivary pH during the 3 time points of menstrual cycle that was considered. Conclusion: Within the limitations of our study, we conclude that among females with regular menstrual cycle changes in salivary pH was found to have no statistically significant difference. However, further long-term studies with considerations of menstrual disorders can be performed for better understanding.
