The samplewas divided into two groups, a study group that drank industrialized fruit juices and a control group that drank water. A basal salivary pH measurement was performed for both groups with a digital pH meter, and after drinking the industrialized fruit juice or water, it was measured again at intervals of 5 and 10 minutes. The gingival condition was evaluated by Löe Silness Gingival Index and PMA Index. Results: No correlation was found between the Löe Silness Gingival Index and the salivary pHin bothgroups, p&...
