Collection of saliva samples Prior to the start of the experiment, samples of unstimulated saliva were taken when the child spit a suitable amount of unstimulated saliva in a sterile container in the morning before breakfast. Initial salivary samples were collected to establish base levels (S1) using selective culture media, The salivary samples (S2) were collected after one week of using the mouthwash when the child spit a suitable amount of unstimulated saliva in a sterile container in the morning before breakfast.
