Abstract

Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of gargling green coconut water (Cocos nucifera Linn Var. Viridis) on salivary flow rate in children aged 12-to 13 y olds in Medan Deli Sub-district.

Methods: This study was conducted on 30 children with a high risk of caries aged 12-to 13 y olds. Saliva was collected before and after gargling using spitting method for 5 min.

Results: It was found that the average salivary flow rate before gargling green coconut water was 0.47±0.22 ml/min and after gargling was 0.65±0.12 ml/min. Paired T-test results showed a significant increase in salivary flow rate before and after gargling green coconut water (p = 0.008). Unpaired T-test results showed that there was no significant difference in the mean difference in salivary flow rate between children aged 12 y and 13 y after gargling green coconut water (p = 1.000). Unpaired T-test results showed no significant difference in the mean difference in salivary flow rate between boys and girls after gargling green coconut water (p = 0.486).

Conclusion: It was concluded that green coconut water can significantly increase salivary flow rate. Age and gender have no significant effect on salivary flow rate.
