Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
salivary pH
Salivary pH will be determined by use of a digital pH meter .All salivary pH values will be taken immediately following salivary collection at chairside. The salivary pH values measured before usage of toothpaste termed "resting pH," while the salivary pH values measured after usage of toothpaste termed "terminal pH.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of arginine versus fluoride containing toothpaste on neutralization of microbial acid produced by Cariogenic bacteria in adult population using chair side assessment method.
Detailed Description
.28 volunteer participants will be assigned in this study. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups(n=14) according to type of toothpaste D where groups D1 patient will use arginine containing toothpaste while groups D2 the patient will used the fluoride toothpaste with a number of 14 patients in each group. The pH will be evaluated according to time in relation to the brushing with toothpaste (T) where (T0) represent salivary pH before brushing with toothpaste , (T1) represent salivary pH 10 minutes after brushing with toothpaste at fixed time of the day.
