Abstract :

Objectives: To analyze in vitro pH, titratable acidity (TA) and total soluble solid content (TSSC) of mouthrinses with different active ingredients and concentration available in India. Material and methods: 14 commercial ands of mouthrinses containing different active ingredients and concentration available in India were included for the in vitro study. The endogenous pH was evaluated by using pH meter, TA was evaluated by the addition of 0.05N NaOH increments to the mouthrinses, and TSSC readings by Gravimetric methods. Results: pH values ranged from 2.57 + 0.06 to 6.77 + 0.33.Th e TA values ranged from 0.1 + 0.00 to 16.67 + 0.12. Original Listerine & Eludril presented the lowest and the highest TSSC, respectively. Significant correlation (p< 0.05) was found between mouthrinses and endogenous pH, TA, TSSC. Conclusion: Some of the mouthrinses presented low pH (pH
