Background:Caries happens due to the production of organic acid from the sugar metabolism, it cause a decrease in oral pH. The changes of pH affects the formation of glucan as the product of metabolism GTF enzyme S. mutans. Purpose: To investigate whether neutral pH (7) will decrease the amount of g...
