Abstract
Introduction: Salivary pH or acidity level changes have detrimental effects on the teeth and oral mucosa which will lead to complications of the periodontal disease.

Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of Moringa leaves mouthwash against salivary pH of patients with Diabetes Mellitus. Methods: This study design is a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest with the control group by measuring the pH of saliva before and after rinsing with a decoction of the leaves of 50%, 100%, Moringa Olivera and the boiled water.
