Protocol summary

Study aim
Determination of chitosan release rate in saliva and its effect on saliva pH after consuming chitosan-based chewing gum
Design
Clinical trial without control group, before and after comparison , without blinding and randomization on 30 patients
Settings and conduct
In one day, 2cc saliva sample will be taken from all volunteers before consuming chewing gum and two hours after eating breakfast without any stimulation by spitting method in a closed container. volunteers should brush their teeth immediately after eating breakfast and should not eat, drink or chew gum after that. In order to prevent any undesirable chemical changes saliva samples will be stored in a ice-containing container and will be sent to the Laboratory of Avicenna University within one hour to quantify the amount of chitosan and measure the pH . Then, volunteers will be given a piece of chewing gum containing chitosan and their saliva is collected in 10, 20 and 30 minutes after chewing in the specified falcon tubes for each time.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
In this study, 30 students and staff of Hamadan Dental School will be included in the study. In one day, a saliva sample of 2 cc will be taken from all volunteers before consuming chewing gum and two hours after eating breakfast without any stimulation by spitting in a closed container. Candidates should brush their teeth immediately after eating breakfast and should not eat, drink or chew gum after that
Intervention groups
Each volunteer is given a piece of chitosan-containing gum and asked to spit into Falcon tubes designated for each time, once before chewing and then 10, 20, and 30 minutes after chewing the gum. In total, each volunteer will chew a gum for 30 minutes.
Main outcome variables
pH of saliva, Quantification of chitosan released in saliva
