Design

20 students enter the study. While fasting for 90 minutes, on the first day, unstimulated saliva is collected by spitting, then 20 ml of orange juice is swirled in the mouth for 1 minute and saliva is collected again. In the next step, they are divided into two equal groups, and group A is given a combined herbal mouthwash, and group B is given chlorhexidine mouthwash for 1 minute, and saliva is collected in the above-mentioned manner, and at the end of the first day, the pH of these samples is measured and will be recorded . After 72 hours of washing out, these steps are repeated again, with the difference that the type of mouthwash of the two groups is changed and the pH of the collected saliva samples is measured again. A phase 0 study is considered a trial
