Abstract: Dental caries is a major problem concerning both primary and permanent teeth. Currently, caries management in children is to minimize the spread and effective use of a wide range of preventive and management strategies. Widespread research is being carried out to create more successful anti-caries agents for control of caries and to provide a good choice of biocompatible restorations. A total of 30 children, belonging to the age group of 4-6 years, with and without dental caries were included in this study. A brief history of their dietary habits and oral hygiene practice was recorded. Based on carious & non-carious status, children were grouped as Group I and Group II. Saliva samples were collected before and after application of GC Tooth Mousse PlusŪ, and salivary pH was measured. Statistical Package for Social Sciences [SPSS] for Windows Version 22.0 Released 2013. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp., was used to perform statistical analyses. GC Tooth Mousse PlusŪ application in the carious group effectively increased the salivary pH, which was almost similar to the salivary pH of the non-carious group. GC Tooth Mousse Plus® is an effective topical agent used to control caries. However, further studies should be carried out for a longer follow up period.
