Abstract

A continuous temporary filling inside the mouth would expose acid produced by microorganism during fermentation of
carbohydrate that would lower the pH of saliva. The aim of this research is to determine the variation on solubility
levels of Cavit temporary filling immersed in artificial saliva with pH 4, 6, and 8. Samples were placed in tube
containers with 2 mm in height and 7 mm in diameter. Samples were immersed in four different groups of artificial
saliva based on the pH, in which the first group was immersed in artificial saliva pH 4, the second in pH 6, the third in
pH 8, and the fourth group was immersed in distilled water (pH 7). The results showed that after 7 day of immersion,
there was a significant difference on solubility levels between the four groups of treatment (p<0.05). The data were
tabulated and analyzed using one-way ANOVA and least significant difference (LSD). Therefore, it can be concluded
that pH can affect the solubility levels of Cavit temporary filling.
