SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline ,2 week

Population: Among the 21 participants in each group,we only measured the enzyme activity from randomly choosed 15 participants from each group.

Saliva and dental plaque samples will be collected and microbial enzyme activity will be quantified in the lab. Measures include relative enzyme activity of arginine deiminase, urease and lactase dehydrogenase as determined by standard laboratory enzymatic assay protocols.
