This study aimed to compare the effects of plain, probiotic, and fruit yogurt on salivary pH in children aged 6-12 years.
51 children were randomly divided into three groups based on yogurt type.
Saliva samples were collected before and after yogurt consumption.
The pH levels of the saliva samples were measured and compared using ANOVA and paired t-tests.
Significant pH changes were observed in the probiotic and fruit yogurt groups compared to each other.
The peach yogurt group showed a greater decrease in pH compared to the probiotic and plain yogurt groups.
No significant difference was found in the plain yogurt group.
