Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
After consuming the solution, salivary pH will be assessed at 1 minute, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes, while the growth of S. mutans will be examined 30 minutes post-rinse.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The solution will be prepared by dissolving 10 grams of the sweetener in 90 mL of distilled water and will be freshly prepared daily. A saliva sample will be collected from each participant before using the rinse, and salivary pH will be measured using a salivary pH meter. Additionally, the Streptococcus mutans count will be determined through incubation and culture.
Participants will use the mouth rinse for one minute, after which saliva samples will be collected at baseline (before rinsing), then at 1 minute, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes post-rinse. The salivary pH will be measured and recorded at each time point. The S. mutans count will be assessed before rinsing and again 30 minutes after using the solution.
