Pengaruh konsumsi minuman ringan bersoda terhadap pH saliva (Laporan Penelitian)
S oft drink minuman ringan bersoda dilaporkan sebagai etiologi terjadinya erosi email. Konsumsi soft drink walaupun dalam durasi yang singkat dapat mengurangi microhardness dari email. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh mengkonsumsi soft drink terhadap Ph saliva pada mahasiswa/i FKG Usakti angkatan 2010. Pengumpulan data strips (non bleeding) pada kelompok yang meminum minuman ringan bersoda (kelompok perlakuan) dan kelompok minum air mineral (kelompok kontrol) Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji paired sampel T test. Hasil : kelompok perlakuan menunjukkan terdapat penurunan Ph saliva, kelompok kontrol tidak terdapat penurunan yang bermakna.
S oft drink are beverages that are offred on the market. Soft drinks are non alcoholi beverages, ussualy carbonated and contain a sweetening agent. Soft drinks taht often we drink, including carbonated beverages reported as the etiology in the development of email erosion. Consumption of soft drinks in shot duration can still reduce the micro hardness of enamel. This study aims to determine the effect in salivary pH after consuming soft drinks on the faculty of Dentistry, Trisakti University student class of 2010. Data was collected by measuring the of saliva acidity with pH indicator strips (non-bleeding) in 2 groups, the group who drank carbonated beverages (experimental group ) and the group that drank mineral water (control group). Data were analyzed using paired samples t test, The results of measurements of the pH of saliva in the experimental
