| Abstract | Objective: To examine the pH response to an acidic challenge in site-specific plaque following a six-week period of using toothpaste consisting of 1.5% arginine and 1450 ppm fluoride or just using 1450 ppm fluoride toothpaste alone, in relation to caries.Methods: Thirty-three healthy adults with no caries (caries-free) or ≥1 current manifest lesion (caries) participated in the study. Interproximal plaque-pH was measured in four sites. Two-weeks after professional cleaning, pH-measurements were performed before and up to 15-min after a 1-min rinse with 10 ml of a 10% sucrose solution. This procedure was repeated after a 6-week test period of using randomly selected toothpaste with 1.5% arginine and fluoride or with fluoride alone. The stimulated salivary flow rate was determined and the salivary-pH and buffer capacity was measured.Results: In the caries group, the use of toothpaste with arginine and fluoride resulted in increased pH-values in the four sites tested. Although it was not statistically significant, increased pH-values were found in the caries-free group. In addition, the whole saliva buffer capacity and pH was increased in the caries group.Conclusion: The most pronounced effect on plaque-pH and stimulated saliva after using arginine and fluoride toothpaste was seen in the caries group. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
