Abstract

Introduction: Children enjoy eating sweet treats like chocolate, which often contains sugar as a sweetener. This can influence the pH of saliva and affect the processes of demineralization and remineralization in teeth. Up until now, there has not been any research on the variation in saliva pH when consuming regular chocolate (with sucrose) compared to chocolate sweetened with stevia in children aged 10-12 years. This study aims to explore the differences in saliva pH between children in this age group who consume sucrose chocolate and those who consume stevia chocolate. Methods: In this study, a Quasi-Experimental design was employed, and approval was granted by the Ethical Committee of Health Research at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital under Ethical Clearance Number 2.045/XI/HREC/2023. Initially, twenty-one children aged 10-12 years from SD Muhammadiyah 1 Surakarta had their saliva measured before any intervention. They were then given chocolate containing 30% sucrose for 60 seconds. Ten minutes after this intervention, the children were asked to collect saliva in their mouths and spit out 2ml into a sterile container. The collected saliva was then tested for pH using a pH metre (Hanna brand, Romania). On the following day, the subjects were instructed to consume chocolate sweetened with 1% stevia using the same method. The average difference in saliva pH before and two days after the intervention was analysed using an independent T-Test on the saliva pH difference. Results: The research discovered that the average change in saliva pH before and after eating sucrose chocolate was 0.3413 ± 0.12557, while for stevia chocolate, it was 0.1444 ± 0.07698. Tests for normal distribution (Shapiro-wilk test) and data homogeneity (Levene’s homogeneity test) both indicated acceptable conditions (p>0.05). The independent T-Test revealed significant differences in saliva pH between children aged 10-12 years when consuming sucrose chocolate compared to stevia chocolate (p<0.05). Conclusion: In summary, the study on saliva pH differences in 10-12-year-old children after eating sucrose chocolate compared to stevia chocolate indicates that there is indeed a distinction in saliva pH between the two. Children who consumed sucrose chocolate showed a lower saliva pH compared to those who consumed stevia chocolate.

Abstract

Introduction: Chocolate is a widely consumed food, particularly by children. It is often considered a contributing factor to the development of dental caries due to its high sugar content, which can lead to the formation of dental caries. Aim: This study aimed to determine whether consuming dark chocolate sweetened with sucrose, xylitol, and stevia would reduce saliva acidity in children aged 10-12 years. Methods: Twenty-one children aged 10-12 years were given dark chocolate with three sweeteners: 30% sucrose, 30% xylitol, and 1% stevia. The subjects' saliva was collected 10 minutes after chewing chocolate with sucrose on day 1, chocolate with xylitol on day 2, and chocolate with stevia on day 3 for 30 seconds and then measured by a pH meter. The measurement was repeated thrice. Result: The difference in mean saliva pH before and after treatment with the three types of chocolate were analysed using the One-way ANOVA test.  A decline in pH was observed in all treatment groups; however, the most significant decrease was observed in the sucrose chocolate group (0.34 ± 0.12), followed by the stevia chocolate group (0.26 ± 0.09), and the least significant decrease was observed in the xylitol chocolate group (0.14 ± 0.07). Conclusion: A statistically significant difference was observed in the decrease in saliva acidity among children aged 10-12 years who consumed dark chocolate containing sucrose, xylitol, and stevia
