The first group used 20ml of distilled water that has pH of 6.78. The second group was soaked in 20 ml of pepsodent herbal natural mouthwash solution with slightly lower pH content of 6.52. Group three had 20 ml of total care lemon herbs with even lower pH content of 5.04. Lastly, the last group (group four) used 20ml listerine gum care herbal ginger solution that has the least pH content of 4.07. The soaking process for each specimen was done at temperature of 37 celcius for approximately six hours.
