Abstract

Background: Saliva is one of the determinants of oral conditions and is easily available as a method of diagnosing and controlling periodontal disease. Smoking is also one of the causes of periodontitis. Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease associated with the accumulation of dental plaque (biofilm), and is characterized by progressive damage to the tissues supporting the teeth, including the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Periodontitis can be minimized by using betel leaf (Piper betle L.) herbal mouthwash, which has been proven to have many properties with minimal side effects. Objective: This study aims to determine whether there are differences in salivary pH before and after gargling with betel leaf mouthwash (Piper betle L.) in periodontitis patients with smoking habits. Methods: The study used an experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Results: The results showed that the average salivary pH of respondents increased from 5.8 before gargling with betel leaf mouthwash to 7.1 after gargling. Conclusion: Gargling using betel leaf mouthwash (Piper betle L.) can increase salivary pH and is effective in stabilizing salivary pH for periodontitis patients with smoking habits.
