  • In this study, the changes in occlusal strength and oral environment before and after the use of natural gargles containing cinnamon were confirmed. This study involved 42 adults aged 19 or older living in Busan from November 25 to December 2, 2023. Twenty-one people were randomly selected for each of the regular and natural gargles. In this study, the group using natural gargles confirmed an increase in saliva buffering power, a decrease in O'Leary index, and an increase in occlusal strength. Through this, it was confirmed that natural gargles containing cinnamon are helpful in improving the oral environment and occlusal strength.
