The Difference in Salivary Flow Rate Before and After Stimulate Between Chewing Pineapple (Ananas comocus) dan Papaya (Carica papaya)

Salivary flow rate is a measure of salivary flow rate in ml/minute that collected in the oral cavity. Salivary flow rate can be increased by using different stimuli such as mechanical and chemical stimuli. One natural way to increase the salivary flow is to use pineapple and papaya. Pineapple and pa...

Description
Summary:Salivary flow rate is a measure of salivary flow rate in ml/minute that collected in the oral cavity. Salivary flow rate can be increased by using different stimuli such as mechanical and chemical stimuli. One natural way to increase the salivary flow is to use pineapple and papaya. Pineapple and papaya is a fruit that is consumed daily. The purpose of the study is to examine changes in the salivary flow rate students of the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Syiah Kuala force in 2013-2016 before and after chewing pinneapple (Ananas comocus) and papaya (Carica papaya). Type of research is pre-experimental research with two group pretest post test design.The population in this study were all of the students in Faculty of Dentistry, University of Syiah Kuala. Subjects included in the criteria for inclusion of 100 people. The results of data analysis on a statistical test by paired t test showed there are differences in salivary flow rate between before and after chewing pineapple (Ananas comocus) with a value of p=0,000 (p
